A solid 6.5

11 Rebels was a movie I picked at random and I'm glad I did. It was another suicide squad of criminals kind of movie. It followed the typical pattern of a bunch of misfits finding common causes and overcoming a series of adversities.But...cliche tho it was, it worked. No CGI, which was a nice change. Just decent practical effects.Actors had good chemistry and the ensemble worked. It was a simple movie, in that there weren't ton of elaborate sets...the outdoor shots reminding me a bit of MASH locations.The swordsmanship was about stabbing, slashing and flailing with differing degrees of skill, which one would expect from a real, ragtag, makeshift, fighting company, which helped to create a realistic feel.It was over 2 hours long but it never felt too long. It was well worth watching. If you're looking for a change from dreary hollywood fare, I recommend 11 Rebels.The movie had kind of a folksy charm. I liked it.

Action period piece

This film takes considerable creative liberties with a real event from the Boshin Civil War, during which the small Shibata domain in northern Japan switched allegiances between opposing forces. It introduces a fictional element, a small squad of criminals tasked with defending an isolated outpost caught between the two armies.Overall, it's a well-crafted period piece-visually impressive and competently acted. However, the storyline is fairly predictable, following a familiar pattern of defenders falling one by one. While some characters feel underdeveloped, others manage to leave a lasting impression.The film shares some similarities with Miike's 13 Assassins but lacks the same level of intensity. Viewers shouldn't expect much beyond an entertaining action movie that occasionally surprises with its violent and gory moments.

Rebels 11 - Go with this counterflow...

Rebels 11 even just by it's name is clearly a derivative to the more celebrated Seven Samurai or even the relatively more recent and equally excellent 13 Assassins. Putting aside the copycat criticisms some would say, the truth is that this actually does go its own way and I have to admit that I was pleasantly surprised.The film is really a derivative of various films, such as the two earlier mentioned but also the Dirty Dozen and likely by coincidence the US comedy movie Spies Like Us! Anyhow, no spoilers but the film centres 11 criminals and some samurai conscripted together to defend a castle, but not all is as it seems.The film starts a bit poorly and I thought this was going to be a cheap cash-in, yet it grows and develops quite strongly and I was very pleasantly surprised by just how good the story did evolve. You do grow to love the motley crew as you watch them battle tragically against the clashing realpolitik interest, with no idea who they should best serve.The action is very good, and the battles are well balanced without a need to go way over the top. That was what really gives the film its value in my opinion. The dialogue & direction is great to watch, and despite its runtime it doesn't drag.If you like period pieces, especially action ones, then this is one that is not taxing and is very enjoyable. Good humour & action, tragedy and drama. I'd say it's very much worth a viewing.
