Though no longer as prominent as it once was, the samurai genre remains one of the most influential in cinematic history. Whether it's Akira Kurosawa's brilliant Seven Samuraibeing remade as The Magnificent Seven in America, or the Star Warsfranchise embracing some of its influences with the incredible "The Duel" episode in Visions, its influence is still felt today. As such, when a movie like 11 Rebels comes along, it's not only a treat to see the genre return, but doing so with a mix of classic and modern filmmaking techniques.
