The Assassin has established itself as a bit of a critical darling. Sight & Sound went as far as naming it their film of 2015, which was a strange move for a British magazine since it had its commercial release this year in the UK. Yet that confidence boost obviously didn’t satisfy the marketing department as they made the decision to advertise it to UK audiences as a wuxia film while in reality it only bears slight resemblances to that genre. It is a combination that leaves you wondering whether this is going to be yet another example of a film beloved by critics, but not the general public.
