Reign of Assassins (2010)
Reviewed by: mrblue on 2011-01-25
Along with the well-made dramatic scenes, Reign of Assassins delivers its' fair share of high-flying swordsplay action that should delight long-time fans of Michelle Yeoh. Helmed by veteran action director Stephen Tung (who has worked on classics like A Better Tomorrow) the fight scenes definitely fall into the wire-fu camp, so if you're looking to something on the more realistic side of things, you probably should look elsewhere. But if you enjoy the style, you're going to find a lot to like here. Michelle looks great during the fight scenes, and seeing her perform here at this level is well worth the purchase of admission alone.
