"The film is set in 1627, towards the end of the Ming dynasty, when a young emperor decides to end the influence of all-powerful eunuch Wei (Chin Shi-chieh) and purge his supporters.Caught in the midst of the intrigue are three lowly cash-strapped warriors from the Imperial Assassins, the secret police, who are given orders to find and kill Wei"
The action scenes are the only talented part in the film the rest could be thrown away. There were no feelings of true brotherhood amongst the three main characters. The women were even worse, you could tell their job was to basically be dolls that look good. They were very beautiful but it truly felt like the director/script held them back. The script was very weak, I really wonder why this movie was even made. The story doesn't even reveal everything, so there are holes. Some of the characters are unbelievable which causes the viewer to lose interest. I suggest it to fans of Wuxia.
