Price that paid for a change [it is true] sometime quite expensive. Not seldom soul at stake just for realizes change envisioned. Risk in common also must accepted by Dr. Sun Yat-Sen, modernization father in country China.
To realize change that the of, Dr. Sun Yat-Sen will do not want to must deal with Dinasti Ching that at that time still power. Because do not willing to power Dinasti Ching ends because revolutionizes that proposed by Dr. Sun Yat-Sen, murderers professional is even also sent for soul Dr. Sun Yat-Sen.
Opportunity came when Dr. Sun Yat-Sen must comes to Hong Kong to look after strength over there. Only distance three blocks from place Dr. Sun exists Yat-Sen, a group of hit man has prepared x'self run their duty and there's nothing can hinder hundreds of this murderer unless five guard people Dr. Sun readily Yat-Sen sacrifices themselves soul to protect the figure.
Question, can Gambler (Donnie Yen), Tycoon (Xueqi Wang), Beggar (Leon Lai), Revolutionary (Tony Leung Ka Fai), and Richshaw Man (Nicholas Tse) face murderers that not few in number this?
Don't misunderstanding. BODYGUARDS AND ASSASSINS is not film martial arts like at most film Hong Kong. [it is true] there is fight scene with specific choreography self-defence kung fu but that is not main treat in film that take setting in Hong Kong early in 1900s this. Drama exactly gets attention quite important in film [of] the works of stage manager this Teddy Chen.
When see the row of player that attached at this film, emerge this impression if film the right not to rely on big names the star [only]. Its reality, that is not primary. That big names [it is true] selected because their reputation in the world of role art. Teddy Chen remain to strive make a tontonan makes eye also make soul.
Half early this film is filled with character forming and position each this character in history framework and relation/link exploitation between each character until grow into one strong unity between story and characters that exist in depth. This is not easy job because divide screen time in order to all characters get quota ekspos in common clear is not easy. Its risk if character not enough diekspos then audience will not care at what happened to the this character. Its profit Teddy Chen quite brooding and each figure can be felt intact as [the] human rather than just figure two dimensions [only].
Second Part just is filled with fight [of] action protectors was Dr. Sun Yat Sen when protect revolution father this China from attack [of] murderers that suruhan dynasty Ching. Again, Teddy Chen this part till properly until every scene become seen captivate. Added next with CGI that mumpuni then city view Hong Kong last centenary can direplika properly
