Xmas Eve with Bodyguards and Assassin: 2.5/5



I seldom watch Chinese movies in cinema. After watching Donnie Yen's movie Ip Man, I started to think that Hong Kong productions are improving! I have thought that any movie that starred Donnie would be fantastic. I was holding so much high expectation for this show, more than what I have for Avatar. Great expectation of seeing a hero in action leads to big disappointment as well. There was not strong focus on any of the characters and Donnie Yen's character died pitifully half way through the show.

Friends who appreciated the show are those who know the history of Sun Yat Sen well. Well, I guess we are just those typical movie buffs expecting a hero to save the day with happy ending note and I'm glad a couple of like-mind friends also shared my sentiments!

But I'm very amused with Leon Lai's long silky hair. He was the character in the show that brought much laughters to the set.
