The Assassins 2012 - Epic Martial Arts Han Dynasty Warlord Cao Cao DVD subtitled

Directed by first-timer Zhao Linshan and produced by the same team behind Zhang Yimou's The Flowers Of War; it tells the story of Han Dynasty Prime Minister Cao Cao (Chow); who in his twilight years only grew in power and threatened to take over the Han Empire. The story also deals with a pair of young lovers; played by Liu Yi Fei and Japanese actor Tamaki Hiroshi; who are snatched from a prison camp and trained to become deadly assassins. While the premise sounds intriguing enough this first trailer shows us precious little that we haven't seen in dozens of similar medieval war epics over the past decade. Starring: Liu Yifei, Chow Yun fat, Hiroshi Tamaki, Annie Shizuka Inoh. English subtitled.
