In ancient Egyptian mythology, a dead person's soul would be weighed against the feather of truth in a ritual called a psychostasy. If their soul was lighter than the feather, it would ascend into the afterlife. Heavy souls were devoured by Maat, eater of the dead. Good films go to hard drive heaven while the recycle bin eats the rest.

Reign of Assassins (2010)
A kung fu directed by Su Chao-Pin.
A woman who used to be an assassin has her face changed and tries to live a normal life. A seemingly ordinary man marries her and when gangs start attacking, their secrets are revealed.
This film is in the vein of Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon and Hero. The whole idea is to make it pretty and violent at the same time. They did a good job of this. There was a little too much camera-work for my taste and the subtitles were tiny, but otherwise I liked it. I'm rating this film good. After searching for an image to post with this, I've decided to use screen-capture more frequently.
