!Tropes for the film:
* AssassinsAreAlwaysBetrayed: Wei ''used'' to be a member of the titular brotherhood, until after an assignment, he's betrayed and ambushed by his own former brothers-and sister-in-arms. He barely survives, and ends up escaping into the mountains where he's rescued by some monks and upon recovering, sets off for revenge.
* BattleInTheRain: The movie ends with Wei battling an army of enemy soldiers through a corridor in the middle of heavy rain, with puddles as obstructions throughout, in order to reach his target at the other end - [[spoiler:his own adoptive father who betrayed him]].
* CombatClairvoyance: Subverted when Wei faces his former brother-in-arms after surviving a betrayal. The ex-brother had predicted Wei's moves, and played out in his mind how he will defeat Wei by forcing Wei to move to his back before taking down Wei with an OffhandBackhand (he even has an ImagineSpot where he ''utterly'' obliterates Wei in a twelve-second CurbStompBattle). But Wei, having survived their initial assassination, and having spent several months with the monks who rescued him, achieving inner peace in the process, no longer practices the same fighting moves the assassins are trained with - in the ensuing duel in CurbStompBattle has Wei emerging the winner, killing his brother via SlashedThroat.
* RazorFloss: One of the titular assassins, an unnamed DarkActionGirl, uses a fine wire hidden in her bracelet as her weapon, to stealthily slit her victims throats. She attempts this on her own mentor late into the film, only to [[HoistByHisOwnPetard have her mentor deduce her ambush... and slit HER throat, with her own floss]].
