SYNOPSIS:
Holly (Celina Jade) is a small-time cop born and bred in an outlying island in Hong Kong. Every day life as a cop comprises of dealing with the villagers' complaint, bar fights, and lost and found reports. One day she finds her cat trapped in a tree and climbs up to rescue it. One careless step and she finds herself falling through the air and into the hands of a stranger, Bruce (Jacky Wu).
A typhoon unravels and Bruce alongside all the villagers are stuck on the island, he is welcomed by Holly and taken around the island until the two are disrupted by a coincidental confrontation with four convicts on the run. Meanwhile, Holly finds out that Bruce is in fact a Kung Fu Master who has yet again saved her life. He becomes the praise of the town and she is grateful as he gives her the first big break of her career, the goal of someday becoming a CID in the city is now closer to her grasp. Bruce and Holly begin to bond and a subtle yet deep connection is felt between them, although often unspoken. Bruce in his interaction with Holly starts to reflect on his life choices and contemplates the meanings of life.
As the night progresses, the unspoken truce once honored by the two sides of the law is broken. It begins with the discovery of the remains of a body that belonged to a drug lord and syndicate crime leader. It ends up in chaos as criminals ravage the once peaceful streets in a race against time to find the mysterious murderer that roams the island. The small-time cops trapped on the island by the typhoon are now forced to step up their game before help can be reached… and Bruce is nowhere to be found.
What is justice? What is love? And is love alone enough for redemption?

REVIEW:
" Legendary Assassin - the directorial debut of martial artist Wu Jing - is, in every way, a throwback to the b-grade Hong Kong martial arts films of the late 1980s complete with goofy comic relief, sweeping romance and a hugely melodramatic finale. For fans of golden age Hong Kong action this thing is a gold mine of all the tropes seldom seen on screen these days though others will likely find these particular elements less appealing. Luckily, for those people, the film also features action o’plenty and proves that Wu was actually on to something when he thought he could direct a film himself: this is quite easily the best shot and best constructed film that Wu has appeared in since drawing huge attention in SPL.
The story is very basic - Wu plays a killer stranded on an island surrounded by police and searching gangsters when an impending typhoon shuts down the ferry service and eliminates his escape route - but is told well and Wu makes a more than likable lead. For my money Wu is the best Chinese fighter of his generation and he shows off his skills to great effect with both wired and unassisted sequences set in a variety of environments with a broad range of opponents.
Will Legendary Assassin elevate Wu into the true A-list? Nah, it’s not really that sort of movie but for fans of the old school this will definitely hit the spot. "
