The Reign of Assassins gave me the feeling of watching one of the great classics. It’s story is not the most original, but it gives a nice background for the viewer to see the beautiful acting and action scenes. At times it’s a love story at others a suspense flick with all the intrigue. The actors do a good job in conveying their emotions to the audience. Most of the characters get fleshed out, so your not only interested in the main characters. Story wise I have to say that some of the things were a bit confusing, but if you paid attention it all made sense.Set in ancient China, Zeng Jing is a skilled assassin who finds herself in possession of a mystical Buddhist monk’s remains.
