Azumi (Japan, 2003)

In war-torn Japan, the Tokugawa Shogun, desperate to restore peace to his people, orders the assassination of the hostile warlords. A beautiful young woman is raised from birth with nine other orphans, to become an assassin. Her name is Azumi.

Chances are you've heard of Azumi. It was well-received on release and got a lot of fans all over the world, which is not surprising because it's a very cool and fast paced sword fest. Not without its silly moment, like when a guy's head gets cut off and he continues to scream, but a fun ninja brawler nonetheless. 

A sequel was made in 2005, Azumi 2: Death or Love, which wasn't as good but still a movie you definitely should follow up with if you liked this one. 

Genre: Action/Adventure
