“Assassin” Poster
On April 17, 2026, Film Movement is releasing Assassin, a 2025 martial arts thriller from director Zhou Jiuquin (Crazy Tsunami).
Shanghai. 1930s. Occupied and on the brink of war. When elite fighter Mubai is recruited for a top-secret assassination, he’s thrown into brutal battle against the Japanese military machine. Hunted through city streets, train lines, and enemy strongholds, Mubai fights his way through ambushes, explosions, and brutal close-quarters combat to reach a single target who could change history. With time running out and bodies piling up, survival depends on speed, skill, and nerve.
The film stars Jinhao Guo (Wo shu 123), Ray Lui (The Prosecutor), Di Wang and Ming Wang. The action is choreography by Zhengguang Lu, who is perhaps best known for his work on 2018’s Return of Wu Kong and 2026’s The Raid (not to be confused with the 2011 or 1990 film).
Assassin hits VOD and Digital on April 17, 2026 from Film Movement and Omnibus Entertainment. Watch the Trailer below:
