Synopsis: Drizzle (Michelle Yeoh) has possessed the body of Bodhi, who is rumoured to have mystical martial arts power and she is determine to return the body back to its righteous place. However, a powerful team of assassins called 'The Black Stone' want sole possession of the body. Inevitably, Drizzle changes her appearance and names herself Zeng Jing. Through her journey, she falls in love with Jiang Ahsheng (Jung Woo-sung). When Zeng Jing/Drizzle discovers that Jiang is the son of the person whom she previously assassinated, things take a turn for the worse as a three way battle between Zeng, Jiang and "The Black Stone' erupts.
Not too bad for a HK gung fu movie, with lots of battle scenes, room for character developments and romance to blossom in the movie. The director tried to instill surprises for almost every character to capture the audience, 2 of them tried to hide their past by changing the outlook of their faces, but little did they know that their path will cross again in a way that they may not want to face. A highly skilled fighter disguised as a lowly official in the imperial court. All these adds on to the suspense for a grand final showdown. I have been wondering, is it becoming a trend in HK movie that one of the female cast has to seduce the male lead in one of the movie scene?
Rate: 6.5/10
