Member Drunken Monk Posted June 28, 2013 Member Share Posted June 28, 2013 I'm not sure if this film has already been mentioned on here, but it looks like a brand new female-centric martial arts film from Vietnam. Twitch has just posted a fairly middle of the road review in which they emphasize the film's wires but appreciate it's beauty and cinematography. From the trailer it looks like a wuxia flick and yup, it has more wires than you can shake a stick at. However, it looks halfway decent...

Member gwailosforever Posted July 1, 2013 Member Share Posted July 1, 2013 The Lady Assassin (Mỹ Nhân Kế) is the highest grossing film so far in Vietnamese Cinema history. It was released in February for the Tet (Lunar New Year) Holiday and earned 54 billion VND ($2.7 million). It beat the previous record of $2million held by comedy 'Long Ruồi' directed by Charlie Nguyen (The Rebel). Here is an article at Film Biz Asia that highlighted Lady Assassin's opening weekend. http://www.filmbiz.asia/news/lady-assassin-kills-at-vietnam-bo Review at Twitch http://twitchfilm.com/2013/06/review-the-lady-assassin-3d-proves-looks-can-kill.html Their are high hopes in the industry that Dustin Nguyen's 'Once Upon A Time In Vietnam' (Lửa Phật) will break Lady Assassin's record when it is released this August 22nd. It features the biggest celebrity cast for a Vietnamese film so far and was trailered heavily before most prints of 'Lady Assassin' http://www.kungfucinema.com/forums/showthread.php?t=19581 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
