Reign of Assassins (7/10/10) review

Typical chinese movie plot. Lots of mystery, history and reasoning to be unfold in this film. About Michelle Yeoh's fighting, she's not bad. Pretty good for a lady, in terms of sword fighting. However she's not the only want that impresses. The five characters that you see in this poster, are impressive in their own ways. And personally, I think Shawn Yue's fighting which only lasted for a really short while is the most impressive. He acts as a blur loser simply trying to chase Michelle Yeoh as his wife but he knows all about who Michelle Yeoh is fighting with or being hunted by. He is aware of everything. Let's talk straight about the rating: 3/5. Why: It's alittle draggy over certain parts, especially the complicated history in the beginning and this film, lack just by alittle in the emotional aspect. If you're into chinese films, this and detective dee are both worth a visit. If you have to choose either detective dee or this, I would prefer detective dee. Andy Lau's charm do really impress in that film.

One scene might shock you: Michelle yeoh, stabbing into her lover's chest, Shawn Yue, with a sword right through. But according to the storyline, it was for their own good. His heart is on the right, she stabbed on the left to make him look like his dead before he got attacked by anyone.

One scene might interest you: Barbie Hsu, stripping for the camera to display her back and another scene clothe in a seductive way, lying on the bed to attract Shawn Yue. But Shawn Yue was smart, he took away all her clothes and announced to the village that there is a crazy woman in his room.
