- An epic adaptation of the manga title of the same name, Azumi is shocking, beautiful and audacious in its extreme deptictions of violence and cruelty. The title role is played by the Japanese star Aya Ueto who, as the deadly female assassin Azumi, is both achingly beautiful and simply deadly to fight against.
Set in 19th century war-torn feudal Japan, a nation torn by civil strife between the ruling government and warlords vying for power, a master samurai takes on the task of raising 10 orphans and training them to be assassins. Their single-minded mission: do the bloody work of the state by silencing the troublesome warlords before they can stir up trouble.
After a decade of inconceivably harsh training and discipline, Azumi and her comrades face their first task of assassinating two powerful warlords, but burdened with the cruel assignment as they must kill friends and enemies alike, Azumi begins to question her faith in her master and her devotion to her country. Still, Azumi remains determined to single-handedly complete her bloodbath mission.
