Darn...I was looking forward to watching it too. From the reviews it seems like an Ecks vs Sever wannabe.

Just got back from this. Man what a horirble movie. Kiss of the dragon was better. Really boring and stupid and like no fighting in the movie. I almost walked out.

DRG

Yeah, I that was about the most ridiculous twist in recent memory. The only decent scene was Jet Li laying waste to the club early in the story.

Just bad.

Could've been fun, but no chemistry and lame cliched action conventions.

This movie was horrible. LIke previous posters said, it was an ACTION movie with minimal action. I don't go to a Jet Li VS Jason Statham movie and want to see them act for two hours, I want them to fight.

It was sauteed in wrong sauce, and I kinda want my money back.

I didn't think it was that bad, it could have had more action, but the ending kind of made me think

Bad...bad....did I mention bad? Cause this movie was not good. Jet Li, Jason Statham, yakuza, and the Triad, it literally almost writes itself.....yet somehow it took a couple of writers to fuck it up.

Badly photographed action, uninteresting story, and no chemistry or sense of excitement coming from any of the actors.

Ecks vs. Sever....shit, at least that had a couple of decent action scenes.

Me and friend just saw it, and both enjoyed it. Of course I could watch these 2 in anything so....

Just got back from this. Agreed that the dialogue is pretty lame, disagreed about the action; plenty of shooting and ass kicking.

I finally got around to seeing this today and I really enjoyed. I highly disagree with some of the previous comments about lack of action. There was lots of it! Lots of gun play and swords fights. I actually loved the final twist at the end about Li's character....However, the only thing I didn't like was the ending...It was so abrupt without any sort of resolution.

As for the acting......C'mon....I don't walk into a Jet Li action movie expecting acting in the realm of a John Huston movie or Martin Scorsesee....Some of you need to lighten up.

A solid B+.....For the DVD I would love to hear commentary from Li and Statham together.

Y'know, when people say things like "the ending sucks because...blah blah blah", do you realize you're pretty much spoiling the movie, even though you don't describe specific scenes in detail? As someone who hasn't seen the flick yet, I hate to read even anything regarding lack of resolution, plot twists, or anything of that nature. Please be more vague in your comments.

I didn't hate it as much as I thought I would. I don't understand the complaints about a lack of action. Sure, it wasn't constant action, perhaps a bit too many attempts of "acting" from Li and Statham, but it had plenty of good action sequences. I saw it for free, no plans to ever watch it again, even if I "have" to buy it again.

But it would make a decent rental for anyone wanting a mindless action flick. C-/D+

Saw this last night - better than what I would expect, but there is nothing special about it. I hated the accent people uses in the movie (mostly that Devon Aoki and Jet Li, I even chuckled when Li speaks in English at one scene), but well... what do you expect.

overall i thought it was pretty decent. i can see why people are complaining about lack of action, but it didn't really bother me.

finally saw it, yes there could have been more hand to hand action but it kept me interested. Good twist at the end, no it wasn't groundbreaking but was cool
