synopsis of the movie bodyguards and assassins.
1905, City of Victoria (British Colony of Hong Kong)
In the distance of thirteen blocks, the one man who holds a nations fate must survive relentless attempts on his life with only five bodyguards to protect him. Against hundreds of assassins, these men must put their courage to the test in order to protect the hopes of millions in this perilous night even if it means fighting to the death...
taken from gv website.
watched it today with nellie, chu and bings.
the movie was rather slow paced for the first hour or so..
and then the actions sets in!
alot of pple dont like the show
cause they were expecting an action packed movie from the start to the end
(since theres donnie yen)
the boring starting,
slow pace development of the show sorta turns pple off.
however personally i kinda like the show.
maybe because my liking for history,
that such shows are very interesting to me,
like reading many many history texts in animated pictures.
in the movie,
u can see many pple of different background coming to protect a single person,
but with different reasons....
just to protect a man they nv seen before and
nv actually see in throughout the show.
particularly,
i like how the movie as filmed.
it doesnt portray a single hero
taking out all the bad people
just like all the usual films such as the jackie chan shows.
instead everyone contributed,
gave up their lifes
and did not run away when they knew what they were in for.
thou most of the pple died,
but for a greater cause.
wouldnt it be such a bore if
donnie yen or leon lai just clobber up all the enemies and win???
its sooooo cliche.
so i give the show..
8/10!!
