A know a wee bit
about early 20:th century Far Eastern history, but not as much as I’d like.
Amsal, or Assassination as the English translated title is, caught my interest
about the era.
Mostly set in 1933,
this action-filled popcorn film follows the formulaic fortunes and misfortunes
of a trio of would-be assassins, their sellsword foils and the traitor in their
midst. One has to wonder whether GRRM and/or J Whedon were involved in the script,
judging by the death toll among the main characters. Violence, lorrychases,
comic relief, adventure, excitement and just a smidge of romance makes Amsal a
great film for watching with some mates over a Cass or three. Highbrow it is
not.
