        Jet Li's finest English language movie to date. Packed with ultra-violent fight scenes and some decent acting. Although Bridget Fonda is the only low point as she is so annoying.

        A hard-boiled and and awesome action-packed thriller. A sizzling, sexy, thrilling and explosive shocker from start to finish. The action is fast, relentless and utterly furious. Jet Li packs pure star power along with his incredible skills, he proves that he's one of the greatest martial arts action stars to ever hit the screen. WIth Master Li and Producer, Luc Besson you can only get amazing with this explosive combo. It's filled with adrenaline-charged action that truly knocks you out. Tcheky Karyo is electrifying. Bridget Fonda is fantastic.

        Worth watching for Li's martial arts but with a story loosely and formulaicly strung together you can't help but feel guilty while you cruise through this action flick. Oh well, at least it was better than his other film; Unleashed (Danny the dog.)

        My favourite North American Jet Li movie. Ridiculously bad acting and overly dramatic at points but the fighting more than makes up for it. It doesn't hold a candle to his Chinese movies but this is the best North American offering we've had from Jet Li. Could use some more fight scenes but the ones we're given have some great choreography.
