About this movie

MR AND MRS SMITH meet FACE/OFF in this Chinese swordplay epic where killers yearn for lives of quiet domesticity. Secret identities abound and death rarely has the last word.

In Ancient China, "Drizzle" is the most deadly and ruthless assassin of the Dark Stone gang. After a life of theft and murder, she seeks to atone for her ways and leave the gang forever. Undergoing a drastic procedure to alter her appearance, she changes her name to Jing (Michelle Yeoh) and starts a new life in the capital.

Even with her new-found life as a shopkeeper and a budding romance to Ah-Sheng, the Dark Stone gang is hot on her trail. She alone holds the secret of the mystical Buddhist monk's remains, which legend says the possessor will gain control of the whole world. The gang will stop at nothing in their pursuit to control this power. 2010, Lion Rock Productions Limited. All rights reserved.
