Review:
If you liked "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", "House of Flying Daggers", "Fist of Legend"...you are gonna love "Reign of Assassins". Set in ancient China this is a classical Chinese martial art movie that is at times a love story an at others a suspense movie with all the intrigue. Good story, costumes, acting, beautifully choreographed action scenes can all be seen here. This is a film I would recommend anyone to see...more than once. Trust me, you will not regret it.

Rating: 8/10                                                       Buy on Amazon: Reign Of Assassins
