Description

When a quiet, hard-working father of two stumbles upon a robbery taking place in his small town and summarily disposes of the bad guys with what appears to be a combination of dumb luck and fast reflexes, a local detective decides there is more to this unassuming villager than meets the eye. The ensuing investigation turns deadly after it catches the attention of a secret society of assassins, who descend on the once-sleepy town with a vengeance. Superstar Donnie Yen has never been better than in this blockbuster martial arts epic, with a series of escalating showdowns leading to some of the best action set pieces ever committed to film.
