JDramaMama's Rating: C

I really like Wu Jing. In this one, he plays an assassin that carries around a black bag wherever he goes that contains....a head! Not just any head, but the head of his latest "hit". Creepy I know, but that's the one of the ocupational hazards of the job. I can't give a long rating on this movie because, once again, it's a stereotypical hitman type of flick. But, I will say that seeing Wu Jing in acton is anything but stereotypical.
