Leon meets Romeo Must Die in this furiously kinetic action thriller that combines the amazing fighting talents of Asian superstar Jet Li with the canny genre production and scripting know-how of French auteur Luc Besson. Outrageously violent, hard-edged and constantly exciting, the film has Li as a Chinese intelligence officer sent to Paris on an undercover assignment, who becomes embroiled in a drug cartel conspiracy. Helped by hooker Bridget Fonda and hindered by super-nasty corrupt cop Tcheky Karyo, Li must use his amazing skills to see justice done. Director Chris Nahon's super-charged thrill-ride does nothing more than highlight a breathtaking array of dazzling martial arts sequences — but it's more than enough. All choreographed by Li's long-time collaborator Cory Yuen, the visceral kung fu and kickboxing on show here are the finest seen on screen since the classic glory days of Bruce Lee.

A sorry martial arts movie in which, once again, an Oriental supercop (Li) is sent on loan to tackle crime in the West.... read more on Time Out
