I’ve gotta make a statement here . Donnie Yen’s movies are totally awesome . I can’t remember all his movies that I’ve watched but ” Bodyguards And Assassins ” and ” 14 Blades ” are enough to knock you off your seats . Haha .. But the down part is I watched the downloaded versions ( don’t have the luxury / freedom to go to the cinemas often . Haha.. )

*Summary taken from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Main_Page with a little bit of add-ons.. =p

The story revolves around the late Ming Dynasty . he Chinese imperial court is plagued by corruption as eunuchs took control of the state power and the reigning emperor is incompetent . Donnie Yen plays the role of Qinglong ( Green Dragon ) , the commander of the Jinyi Wei ( literally: Brocade-clad Guards ) , the governments highly – trained secret police . When the organization was first founded, the Jinyi Wei took orders directly from the emperor , but now they are under the control of the corrupt eunuch faction . The chief eunuch Jia Jingzhong is plotting with an exiled noble , Prince Qing , to rebel against the emperor and seize power . Jia orders Qinglong to kill the Imperial Councilor Zhao Shenyan and take Zhao’s safe box , which supposedly contains a list of names of traitors . However , Qinglong discovers later that he had been used , as the safebox contains the Imperial Seal , a symbol of the emperor’s authority , and Jia wants to use it to legitimize Prince Qing’s actions for convenience when the rebellion begins . Qinglong is betrayed by his fellow guards and becomes a fugitive when Jia denounces him as a traitor and issues an order for his arrest . He escapes and joins the Justice Escort Agency, where he strikes up a romantic relationship with Qiao Hua , the daughter of the agency’s leader . Qinglong is determined to fulfill his loyalty to the emperor and continues to search for evidence of Prince Qing’s rebellion plot and undermining Qing’s plans . He is joined by the Heaven Eagles Gang , a group of bandits led by the Judge of the Sands , played by Mu Chun . Standing in Qinglong’s way are Jia Jingzhong’s lackeys and his former Jinyi Wei fellows , as well as Prince Qing’s goddaughter Tuotuo , a highly-skilled female assassin .

The Movie Poster ..

This movie contains a lot of twists and suspense . Although some might find it normal but it is still a very nice movie to watch . But there is 1 thing which I don’t really understand . Why does Donnie Yen has to die in his movies ? It’s the same thing in ” Bodyguards And Assassins ” and ” 14 Blades ” . But that is also another twist in the story . So I won’t complain much . Haha .. Anyway , I would really recommend this movie for those who haven’t watched it . A real action packed movie . If it’s no longer on the cinema , go download it . Haha.. XD
