    If you're a fan of Jet Li you can't miss this

    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.

    Hit-or-miss-man

    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 doesn’t quite cut the mustard.

    Li still delivers in is actions scenes but the directing just doesn’t make the most of his talents.

    Not the greatest film of it genre but it is worth a watch if it’s your kind of thing.
