Daniel Lee’s dark ‘n bloody wuxia thriller Code of the Assassins has arrived! The film debuts on Hi-YAH! on March 3rd, then goes to digital, Blu-ray & DVD on March 28th from Well Go USA.
This upcoming actioner is directed by Daniel Lee, the Hong Kong director behind films such as Jet Li’s Black Mask, Donnie Yen’s 14 Blades, Leon Lai’s White Vengeance and Jackie Chan’s Dragon Blade.
Code of the Assassins sees the filmmaker re-uniting with his White Vengeance and Dragon Blade star William Feng (Young Detective Dee: Rise of the Sea Dragon).
After completing his training, an elite young assassin embarks on his first mission and is quickly ensnared in an intricate plot laid by powerful people pulling strings from the shadows. Upon failing to complete the assignment, he is forced to go on the run—from the government and rival assassin groups alike—as he seeks to unmask the players behind the conspiracy.
Code of the Assassins also stars Gina Jin Chen (Wuxin: The Monster Killer), Zhang Hao (Call of Heroes), Hu Jun (The Battle at Lake Changjin), Summer Xu Qing (League of Gods), Wang Qing-Xiang (The Grandmaster), Ray Lui Leung-Wai (Thunder Run) and Jack Kao Kuo-Hsin (Project Gutenberg).

Great! I thought Freddy Krueger was fantastic in Ronny Yu’s 2003 wuxia ‘Freddy Vs. Jason’. 😛
