Cast Member: Angeles Woo

Not the return to modern action many a Woo fan may have hoped for but fun in fits and starts if you can forgive its flaws.

Fast, fresh, funny and full of character and tension, this is wuxia done well and should be seen by fans of the genre at their earliest convenience.

Woo’s remake of his own film is a fun actioner (if one can leave the incessant need to compare and criticise behind) that entertains thanks to its location, assassin gender swap, and some finely staged action.
