THE THIEVES Director Delivers More High Gloss Action With ASSASSINATION Trailer

South Korea's Choi Dong-hun has arguably become the nation's most reliable purveyor of big time, high gloss popcorn cinema with just enough depth to keep even critics happy. Choi has delivered a string of big time hits in Korea - a string that most recently delivered box office record setter The Thieves - and that string appears very much intact with the upcoming Assassination.

Ha Jung-woo, Gianna Jun and Lee Jung-jae star in this period set tale of Korean fighters living in hiding in 1933 Shanghai setting out to assassinate a Japanese military commander. Choi's cast - as per usual - is absolutely top notch and the first trailer promises exactly the sort of big budget entertainment that has become his trademark. Very slick and lots of fun, check out the first trailer below.
