Thirteen Assasins
"Set during Feudal Japan. A sadistic young Lord rapes and kills at will. No one can touch him because he is the Shogun’s younger brother. A senior government official realizes the situation will become more dangerous after the Lord ascends to a higher political position. After a wronged party publicly commits hari-kiri, a trusted older samurai is secretly hired to wipe out the Lord."
