Great set-pieces in this sci-fi actioner - Assassin: City Under Siege review by Alphaville
In this Benny Chan sci-fi actioner mad mutant villains with superpowers are running riot in Hong Kong and it’s upto our heroes to whup them. If you can get past some hammy acting, especially by a comic lead character, there’s plenty here to keep you glued to the screen. Even the characters are more interesting than might be expected, with a high-kicking loved-up cop duo and a chief villain who hates what he’s becoming even as his powers grow. The set-pieces, using wirework stunts rather than boing Marvel-type cgi, are real and spectacular, while the mutants’ evolving power foreshadows an apocalyptic climax.
