Bodyguards and Assassins review and trailer
AWARD-winning epic charting the emergence of Dr Sun Yat-sen as the father of modern China.
The tale begins with Dr Sun’s arrival in Hong Kong in 1905 intent on leading an uprising.
An elite army of assassins is dispatched to kill him but his ragtag bodyguards vow to protect him. A slow, satisfying blend of history and action.
