Synopsis
A self-styled “accident choreographer,” the Brain is a professional hitman who kills his victims by trapping them in well crafted “accidents” that look like unfortunate mishaps but are in fact perfectly staged acts of crime. Perennially plagued with guilt, he is also suspicious and morbid by nature. The recent avalanche of memories of his lost wife does not make things any easier.
After one mission accidentally goes wrong, causing the life of one of his men, the Brain is convinced that this accident has been choreographed: someone is out there plotting to terminate him and his team. He becomes increasingly paranoid, walking on the thin line between reality and delusion.
When he is accosted by a mysterious insurance agent Fong who happened to be on the scene of the “accident” as well, the Brain becomes obsessed that this man must be the mastermind behind a conspiracy to take him out. To regain his sanity and to safe his life, he must strive to kill Fong before he makes his next move.
Background
With his crime thriller ‘Dog bite Dog,’ followed soon after by the equally violent fight pic ‘Shamo,’ Hong Kong director Soi Cheang has a recent track record for making uncompromisingly raw, dark and some might say vicious films.
So can we expect more of the same from his upcoming project ‘Assassins.’ Detail on the film is still a little sketchy, but it sure looks that way so far. Aside from a brief plotline, we do know it will star two action pic veterans Louis Koo (Flashpoint, Protégé) and Richie Jen (Exiled). With Cheang at the helm, and the Class A cast, we could be in for real (and just a wee bit volent) treat.

'Assassins' filming in Hong Kong; Michelle Ye's assassin image becomes highlight
Directed by Cheng Pou Sui and a production of Johnny To, popular actors Louis Koo, Michelle Ye and Richie Ren collaborate to star in 'Assassins'. Being labeled as the third sequel of Galaxy Entertainment Group's impressive production of 'The Longest Night' and 'Running Out of Time', 'Assassins' is highly anticipated and well regarded by outsiders since the day they started filming.
As 'Assassins' is being filmed in secrecy and low profile in Hong Kong, the movie plot and character image are very scarcely revealed. The day before last, the movie was filming an outdoor scene where the leads', Louis Koo and Michelle Ye, image were finally disclosed. Louis Koo who was in a black suit was exceptionally handsome, his cool expression caused audience to anticipate the movie's plots even more. Michelle Ye who has always been gentle and sweet looking changes from her past image altogether, and breakthroughs to appear as a female assassin with several appearances. Just her occasionally cool and tender expressions, it totally proves the efforts of the director in creating a richly reserved character.
'Assassins' is about an assassinating organization, the outdoor scene filmed that day was: Louis Koo and Michelle Ye both play assassins, they were flying kites to assassinate their target victim. However, a sudden pour of heavy rain caused everyone to be in chaos, thus they had to change their means of assassination. Both of them in the black raincoat were thoroughly gorgeous, the poise of their eyes was especially alert; they were totally absorbed into the movie, portraying their roles very earnestly. Louis Koo and Michelle Ye are from the same TVB school, but have yet collaborated, their collaboration this time is exceptionally refreshing. Both the handsome man and beautiful lady are good actors, thus audience are anticipating the release of 'Assassins' even more than ever.
it should be fun to see louis playing an assassin...he's always got that "cool" look down
