Description

During the Manchurian-ruled Qing Dynasty, Emperor Yong Zheng creates an elite assassination squad known as the Guillotines, made to eliminate all who oppose him. But as time passes, the Guillotines are deemed expendable, and used instead to persecute the people in a reign of terror and oppression. The arrogant and complacent squad of five young warriors have never failed in 348 missions to eliminate their targets. But their newest mission leaves The Guillotines ambushed, double-crossed, and facing annihilation – both from evil men, and the new firearms that seemingly surpass their cold steel.

    Poor acting. Spotty script. All around bad movie.
  • Don't let the "cool cover art" fool you… TERRIBLE

    There was literally no action in the ENTIRE MOVIE. None. If you want to be bored with no character development and a bunch of guys crying for no reason, then this movie is for you. Otherwise avoid this movie like the plague.
  • No Subtitles

    iTunes needs to get it together. I am glad that you are offering movies I like but some one needs to make sure the subtitles work properly.
  • Really, I avoided this?

    I avoided this movie for so many months because of the ratings, but you guys are idiots. 8 minutes of action? It was like an hour of constant action. Can't be action the whole time, because then there's no story. Want action, go watch some boxing or cage fight - there's no story there. This was a great movie with a strong story behind it. It as heart-felt, tear-jerking, gut-wrenching and eye-opening for life during that era. Hate critics. Always full of it. I'm glad I bought the movie.
  • This is a soap opera!!!

    This is a soap opera dressed up as an action flick! There is about 8 minutes of true action scenes and the rest is just soap opera like drama.
  • Nothing special here

    $10 to rent are you bonkers? My GF downloaded it and the movie was ok, but anything over $5 for a RENTAL is insane.
