7 Assassins is not the best martial arts film but the acting I guess isn’t bad and it does have admirable set designs, but the story doesn’t quite gel. That being said, it might be worth a rental if one can find it. The DVD released by Lionsgate is pretty basic with good video/audio transfers but unfortunately no bonus materials were included.

VIDEO – 4.0/5 | AUDIO – 3.75/5
7 Assassins is presented with a 16×9 enhanced 2.35 widescreen transfer. For the most part, the film takes advantage of its panoramic locations and colors generally are bright. There is the usual amount of artifacts but nothing too bad.
The Dolby Digital 5.1 track provides for good dialogue levels, a score that makes the most usage of each channel and action scenes sound decent enough, though not terribly dynamic.
OVERALL – 3.0/5
Overall, 7 Assassins is not the best martial arts film but the acting I guess isn’t bad and it does have admirable set designs, but the story doesn’t quite gel. That being said, it might be worth a rental if one can find it. The DVD released by Lionsgate is pretty basic with good video/audio transfers but unfortunately no bonus materials were included.
