  I'm not sure this one would actually qualify as a martial arts genre film -- definitely not typical. A lot of Jet Li rolling around on the floor JUST faster than badly-aimed, opposition-party bullets -- and a whole lot more of Jet Li firing many, many Uzis rather than giving the old, say for instance, boot-to-the-face <i>etal</i> kinda whushu-butt-kicking stuff . . . <p> BUT: It's Jet Li, sooooo . . . And have you ever seen an elevator-sized car take an elevator ride like that? Possibly not, yes? Whooohooo! <p> My for-real flixster friends already know that this one will get no fewer than three stars from me. And so it goes : ) <p> Arbitrary, I hear some say. <p> Not, I say. <p> A year after <i>Speed</i>, eh? No problem: It's not as egregious as, maybe, Martin Scorsese's ripping off of <i>Infernal Affairs</i>. <p>Yes? <p> Think about one of my future-wife possibilities, Sandra Bullock's, line: "You didn't leave me alone." Keanu Reeves does his best acting with the come-back line about not needing to be anywhere else . . . <p>No, really, please actually think about Sandra Bullock's line -- and not because she's stunningly good-looking -- especially now for someone who's grown into 46 or 47 years old : ) <p> Pretty heavy movie cross-referential influence, wouldn't you say? Not being left alone. Yes? No? Blowing up bus? <p>Yes! Great movie, accordingly : ) <p> Ripping off intellectual property seems to be a movie industry standard nowadays. So WTBorat. This one is a great Hollywood-gets-reverse-ripped-off.

  An unusual Jet Li flick - plenty of action but SOOOO funny as well - co-star Jacky Cheung is a crack - up!!! A great movie with some superb action scenes!!!

  Like Die Hard if John McTiernan despised Jackie Chan. Overall, a pretty fun action film.

  Extravaganza of Hong Kong's <i>Die Hard</i> movie.
