Chinese cinema has released quite a lot of blockbusters lately, and they are oriented not only to the domestic market. "Operation Red Sea" and "Eight Hundred" are a vivid example of how you can popularize the achievements / feats of a country / nation, combine with cinema, while receiving a high-quality film product. And at the same time to shoot films for a wide audience in the style of "The Last Hero" and also with a national flavor. As for me, "Assassin: Battle of the Worlds" - well, just a Chinese mirror of "The Last Hero".
There lives in our world a man whose daughter was kidnapped. What he knows best is to throw stones very accurately from any distance. A mysterious organization hires him to murder a writer who is writing a story about a parallel fantasy world in exchange for information about his daughter. However, having plunged into the fantasy world of the author, the hero understands that the search for his daughter must be continued in another world..
Let's face it, the storyline is so-so. But here's a fantasy world ... Colorful costumes, unexpected decisions and plot twists (which are only dragon-shaped balloons and dendroid / cyclops). And the main antagonist of the fantasy world was an original, bright and how strange decision for me ... True, or it seemed to me, with a Caucasian face against the background of all other Asians (even antiheroes).
