In ancient China, in a time of inter-clan warfare, Drizzle is the top assassin of a gang known as The Dark Stone. In order to escape from The Dark Stone and rid her life of violence and bloodshed, Drizzle decides to undergo a drastic procedure to alter her appearance, to change her name to Zeng Jing (Michelle Yeoh), and to move to the Capital. Keeping a low-profile as a shopkeeper, she falls in love with and marries a messenger (Jung Woo-Sung). However, their peaceful life is soon disrupted when Zeng s identity as Drizzle is unveiled in a dramatic fight and confrontation with The Dark Stone, who will stop at nothing in their efforts to rule the martial arts world.

4.0 out of 5 starsI think she is the best female martial arts superstar
By K. G. A. Alavi on 2 Aug. 2014
Format: DVD
I expected more. I am a huge fan of Michelle Yeoh. I think she is the best female martial arts superstar. Maybe because of this my exceptions were too high. The plot with character who were supposed to be dead coming back right and left was unnecessary. The love story angle was stupid for lack of a better word. He knew who she was before he married her but made not move against her, nothing with her doing nothing to earn his trust. Someone commented some scenes were missing from the DVD could these have been missed moments that caused their relationship to grow.

The film seemed rushed despite being close to 2 hours long. This is also evident in the subtitles which come at lightning speed. I did have to keep pausing the DVD to read them in case I missed something important.

The martial arts are good I like Yeoh's Water sheath fighting style. Basically she uses a flexible sword that wrap around an opponent's block to cut them multiple times. I thought the extra wire work was unnecessary for a star of Michelle Yeoh's martial arts pedigree. Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon has a lot to answer for. Over all the fights were good but nothing spectular. Like I said I expected more. I have to say having MIchelle Yeoh and a good ending took this film from rounding 3.5 stars up to 4 for me. I would still like to rate it 3.5.

4.0 out of 5 starsKarma is a bitch...
By Persistent Gardener on 3 Oct. 2013
Format: Blu-ray Verified Purchase
This is a complex love story, which is narrated in a convoluted way,
through a continuous interplay of false identities.
The plot is driven by the frenetic quest for the hallowed, mummified remains
of a monk, which still overflow with mystical Qi energy.
A dreaded cabal of assassins called "Dark Stone" has laid claim to the remains.
Under the leadership of the "Wheel King"-who is not what he seems to be-
the cabal intimidate and murder powerful government officials.
Then "Drizzle", the cabal's most skillful assassin, runs away with half
of the monk's remains. After a tragic sojourn with a Buddhist monk,
she decides to seek redemption for a life of violence.
She changes her face and her identity, and begins a new life as Zeng Jing,
a cloth merchant. She meets and falls in love with a courier called
Jiang Ah-Seng. She marries him, but then the past catches up with her:
All hell breaks loose when the "Dark Stone" discovers that Zeng Jing
is "Drizzle". The conflict impels Jiang Ah-Seng to reveal that he also
assumed a false identity, in his quest for revenge.
In the final showdown in a cemetery, a forlorn, wounded "Drizzle"
faces off against her domineering master, the "Wheel King".
There are several exciting fight scenes in the film.
The assassins of the "Dark Stone" employ radically different fighting techniques:
Lei Bin kills with needles, the "Magician" employs pyrotechnics and magical tricks,
etc. These do not overwhelm the love story. There are numerous humorous
situations, and scenes of touching tenderness and marital bliss.
Michelle Yeoh gives a superb, nuanced performance in the role of Zeng Jing/"Drizzle".
The "making of" feature included in the blu-ray is not subtitled in English.

5.0 out of 5 starsIt hold your attention pleasantly.
By Amazon Customer on 17 April 2014
Format: Amazon Video
Once you start watching, you don't want to close your eyes.

I love the 4 weaknesses that she need to learned in order her to win:
1. Hide weak points intelligently.
2. Retain clarity of mind modestly.
3. Avoid becoming aloof and detached.
4. Retreat in order to advance.
Very good weakness to learn in real life.

Excellent movie. Highly recommended

3.0 out of 5 starsDisappointed
By Ms. Lea Anne Pinker on 24 April 2014
Format: DVD Verified Purchase
Such a fun movie but was so disappointed to discover that some scenes were actually missing from my dvd!
There were at least 2 scenes I remembered from the version I watched on tv, which really brought so much more depth, insight and humour to the characters portrayed.
Most disappointed my dvd is not in tact.

4.0 out of 5 starsEntertaining with good fight scenes & character development
By PJ B'ham on 28 Mar. 2013
Format: DVD
A very worthwhile watch with many impressive fight sequences. The story is developed well with an unexpected twist that viewers won't see coming. The 'magical' elements of the story didn't particularly add any substance to the attractiveness of the film, in my opinion, but I took them as cultural aspects of Chinese folklore, and focused instead on the main story.
