Jeffrey Lyles Lyles' Movie Files It should be a crazy sleek martial arts showpiece. Instead, it’s a film that’s constantly fighting against embarrassing CGI and plot that never quite settles down into a cohesive narrative. Rated: 4/10 Apr 2, 2023 Full Review Read all reviews

Marc Z While this film's storyline takes some complicated twists and has many characters to keep up with it still moves along at a steady pace. The series of exciting and varied fight sequences pay homage to the Kung Fu movies of the 1960's and 70's, while adding a modern feel. Code of the Assassins is martial arts in the Chinese style. This is not a gritty, street fighting martial arts film in the fashion of many of the modern Korean action films. It is the high flying, weapons, and stunt based in the Chinese Kung Fu tradition. The film is visually stunning. The special effects, the costumes, the cinematography, and settings are all a feast for the eyes. The stunt and fight choreography are thoughtful, action packed, and fun to watch. The acting, from the large cast, is perfect for the material. They understand that the roles they are playing are larger than life, fantasy characters, and they play to those characteristics. There is a lot of betrayal, double-crossing, and temporary alliances. The plot involves the quest to protect a coveted map of ancestral treasures that was the basis for murders and betrayals. Revenge is as prominent here as it is in any martial arts films of the past half century. While there are a lot of unexplained things here, and much that is confusing, it really doesn't matter. This is a martial arts film in the purest form-the story is collateral to the martial arts and the action. If you like Chinese Kung Fu movies this is a must see. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 11/10/23 Full Review Read all reviews
