God-awful

"Jason Yee may be a great martial artist, but he is a horrible actor, writer and director. The dialogue is dull and wooden. The plot is almost nonexistent. Even the fight scenes are poorly filmed. This may be the worst move I've ever seen."
Low budget and cringe-worthy

"Combine a Bruce Lee look-alike, cheesy rap music, strained dialog and kickboxing and you have a recipe for a rank martial arts movie you can't sit through. It's nothing you haven't seen before and it's definitely not something you want to see again. I rented this for free and I still feel cheated. Gah!"
Not good. See it....If you dare.

"This movie was stupid the story sucked and it was to slow paced for me. The acting is by far terrible no actor (if they call themselves that) here gave an effort to at least try. The action could have been good but Jason Yee held back alot in his fight sequence. If you've seen Ong-Bak and Tom youm goon you will not enjoy this film. Those film took action to a new level this movie took 20 steps backwards. And the sword fighting is stupid because I guess they decided to use real swords so they moved really slow when they came at each other. Please if you have any taste in movies what so ever do not I say again do not see this movie."
For 80k, it was great.

"I just finished watching Dark Assassin and I was horribly dissapointed. I was expecting a bit more, the cover is so cool I really thought it would be more action less plot.
I'll be honest, I am not happy with the majority of the fight scenes, and I didn't like the plot at all. But what won me over was the speical features and learning how they made the movie and the effort they put in. Jason Yee seemed like a really cool guy and very talented. With more production time and cheorgraphy, it could of been amazing. I give it 4/5, I would like to give it 5/5 based on work effort and budget alone, but I think 4/5 will reflect my full opinion more.
Warning. If you find nothing respectible about other peoples hard work and effort to make a movie, and simply want to be entertained, I do not think this movie is for you. As mentioned, until I saw the special features, I was not a happy panda."
