When it comes to killing people, Leland (David Will No) is among the best, which is why when he wants to quit his job as an assassin, his boss Shidoshi (Lawrece Mah), even if Leland has the most noble of reasons for leaving a life in constant danger behind; His girlfriend Susie (Ola Chan) is pregnant. Shidoshi has one more job for Leland though, to deliver a bomb in a suitcase to a certain address - and only too late does Leland realize the suitcase is actually meant for Susie. Sure, he can still dash to her and hope he arrives in time to save her - but it's exactly then that he runs into a gang of goons out to have their revenge on him, and they're apparently determined to stop at nothing in their attempt to kill him ...

Now admittedly, when it comes to premise and plot, The Huntsman doesn't exactly thread new ground, but then again the film's a mere 12 minutes long and pretty fast paced so one doesn't really notice or care. But what really makes this movie are its fight and action scenes which are not only inventive and well-executed, they actually rival major studio movies in quality, and they're relentless, too. So if you're at all into vintage action cinema, you ought to seriously think about giving this hidden gem a watch.
