A new bloody actionner from China? The film revolves around an elite squad of Imperial Guards, trained to use the deadly flying guillotines to protect the Emperor, without knowing they’re part of a conspiracy… Film is directed by Andrew Lau, who did Infernal Affairs and nothing really exciting since then. The good thing is, it’s another Peter Chan production – remember Bodyguards and Assassins.
