VietNamNet Bridge – The Vietnamese movie directed by Nguyen Quang Dung made its debut in the Vietnamese community in the US in late June.

The five beauties of "The Lady Assassin".

“My Nhan Ke” or “The Lady Assassin”, which made a record of revenue in the New Year film season 2013 with more than VND60 billion ($3 million) was released in Los Angeles from June 28. The movie immediately attracted the attention of the Vietnamese community in the US. The famous website on movies – Twitchfilm – published a review on the film.

Compared with many other Vietnam films, “The Lady Assassin” comes to Vietnamese expatriates in the United States sooner, only three months after it was released in Vietnam. In the past, it took at least six months or a year to release the films like “Passport to Love,” “Rebel” or “Fool for Love” in the US.

“The Lady Assassin” is the first 3D movie by Nguyen Quang Dung and the second 3D film in Vietnam, after “School Ghost” in 2011. The movie made a controversy for its quality. The majority of the audience underestimated the storyline, photography and 3D effects of the film but praise the beauty of actresses and the music.

The movie tells a story about the ancient Dai Viet country where a pub named Duong Son, located in between forest and sea, attracted a lot of men thanks to its beautiful waitresses.

Little do they know, though, that once they go in the pub…

One day a young lady born into a rich family named Linh Lan (Tang Thanh Ha) comes to Duong Son after escaping from a bloody massacre enacted on her family by the evil general Quan Du (Thai Hoa).

Lan is trained to be a assassin by the most popular waitress in the pub, named Kieu Thi (Thanh Hang), but will she be ready for a revenge?

After Los Angeles, the movie will be screened in other cities. On July 10, “The Lady Assassin” will be launched in Australia.
