Great Swordsmanship
7 November 2018 | by foutainoflife – See all my reviews

This movie has some awesome action scenes. It is centered around Imperial Assassins being caught in the crosshairs of corruption. It is literally a tale where you can't win for losing. There's some drama to it that was sorta "blah" but the action scenes make up for it. I enjoyed it.
