Synopsis
A shopkeeper must, again, take up the sword of the assassin when her former partners-in-crime come to demand that she hand over the remains of a famous monk.
Our take
After the spectacular success of Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, Michelle Yeoh had a ten-year hiatus from martial arts. Reign of Assassins—co-directed by Su Chao-Pin and the legendary John Woo—sees her return to more scintillating swordplay, keeping the wuxia genre flying high into the 21st century.
