1 comment:

Co-directed by King of Action John Woo and starring the stunning Michelle Yeoh, Reign of Assassins leaps on to DVD on 25 February 2013! Described as ‘the best wuxia since Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon’ by The Global Times, and awarded 4 stars by Empire, this period-set martial arts actioner combines the action-comedy and romance of Mr. & Mrs. Smith with the identity swap thrills of Face/Off and is an absolute must-see!

To celebrate the release of Reign of Assassins we’re giving away a copy on DVD courtesy of eOne!

In Ancient China, “Drizzle” is the most deadly and ruthless assassin of the Dark Stone gang. After a life of theft and murder, she seeks to atone for her ways and leave the gang forever. Undergoing a drastic procedure to alter her appearance, she changes her name to Jing and starts a new life in the capital.

Even with her newfound life as a shopkeeper and a budding romance to Ah-Sheng, the Dark Stone gang is hot on her trail. She alone holds the secret of the mystical Buddhist monk’s remains, which legend says the possessor will gain control of the whole world. The gang will stop at nothing in their pursuit to control this power.
