The story is uncomplicated but effective, the fights are not overdone, but pretty intense, and the bad guy is a real naughty dude who you get serious satisfaction watching him get his comeuppance. Great fights, some good humour, charismatic characters, a sweet romantic line, and a story of friendship as much as anything else. This is a great movie.
Jet Li Stars in a run of the mill Hong Kong suits and shoots flick that tries to be as good as The Killer but doesnt quite cut the mustard.
Li still delivers in is actions scenes but the directing just doesnt make the most of his talents.
Not the greatest film of it genre but it is worth a watch if its your kind of thing.
