It's been a while since i watched a Chinese movie so maybe i'm over-hyping this movie a bit but it sure rocked for me.
Bodyguards & Assassins is set in Hong Kong at 1906 during the beginning of revolution to topple the Qing Dynasty. Although some of the fight scenes reminded me of those Tamil movies where the hero can kill an entire army, it did have a sense of realism in it.
The one scene where the "Beggar" thwarted 50 assassins with his Chinese fan was a bit over though. He seemed more like Ken / Ryu from Street Fighter.
Donnie Yen was good playing this gambling addicted cop who turns over a new leaf after finding out he has a daughter he didn't know about.
Ok no more spoiling the movie for those who haven't seen it. My two cents are it's definitely worth the 2hours despite the fact i was high on meds.
