Starring Jet Li. Black Mask is an exotic blend of high-tech weaponary, unmatched martial arts prowess, bodies, bombs and bondage from a master filmaker who reinvents the action genre in his slick, smartly imaginative, visually stylish and slyly humorous adventure on an epic scale. As part of his training to become a member of an elite group of assassins known as the 701 squad, Tsui had his nerve centre surgically removed leaving him free of physical or emotional pain. Demoralised by the dramatic changes that resulted from this void, Tsui escapes from the organisation's headquarters seeking anonymity and a reintroduction to human contact as a librarian in Hong Kong.
