Legendary Assassin

Totally Enjoyable Kung-Fu Flick
If you're looking for a movie that is Academy Award quality, you're in the wrong place. But if you're in the mood for a cheesy but kick-ass action flick, Legendary Assassin absolutely delivers.

I love deep movies that make you think. But like any red-blooded man, sometimes I just need an adrenaline-pumping action movie. This film offers great fight sequences, sprinkles of intentionally corny humor, and bone-crunching action. The fight scenes were choreographed by Nicky Li, an official member of the Jackie Chan Stunt Team for over 15 years. If you've seen Rumble in the Bronx, Rush Hour, or any other Jackie Chan flick, you've witnessed Li's fight choreography.

The film was shot surprisingly well, and has a terrific music score. I was impressed with the fact that this was the directorial debut of Wu Jing AKA Jacky Wu, who also plays the lead character Bo, a soft-spoken stranger who carries a mysterious bag everywhere. Legendary Assassin also marks the acting...

I love the movie. Lot of action from the begining to the end. The movie was in great shape the people in the show was awsome.

Weak Wu Jing not worth watching
You want some Wu Jing We got him, which is all this dvd can claim. The cover has him holding a sword so i figured he's going to use a sword, but he never does, he never even lays his hand on one. SO, false advertising right off the bat.

I rented it for free from redbox and still could barely watch it over 2 days in separate 30 min sessions.
Its really the worst of HK film now a days. No plotting, terrible story, bad acting, poorly constructed 1/2 dimensional characters, bad action, lots of wire work. The fight and action scenes are flat out stupid.

The only thing of note were the cooking and eating scenes which came off as pretty realistic.

Check out Tai chi master 2 Fatal contact or invisible target if you want real Wu Jing, the true spirit of HK film, and blistering action.
