14 Blades - The Man with the Dragon Tattoo

It's a while since I watched a wuxia film and this is a reasonable effort, from my LoveFilm subscription. The Emperor's chief assassin (Donnie Yen) is sent to kill a government minister only to realise he's been set up and teams up with a mercenary's daughter (Zhao Wei, who played Mulan and was in Painted Skin) to clear his name.


The plot is a little convoluted, but is really just an excuse for a lot of martial arts, which are spectacular. Kate Tsui was also rather good as Qinglong's nemesis, Tuotuo, so one to watch out for.
