    Rated - 4 stars [Highly rated reviewer]

    Hilarious gem of a martial arts movie

    Jet Li is a boy brought up as a dog, trained to kill by some cockney gangsters operating in a cockney accented Glasgow. Sounds ludicrous, it is but man is it enjoyable. Riffing from Aliens, Clockwork Orange, Werner Herzog, in parts with some minor director showboating, it's brilliantly entertaining. With Tony Jaa getting some rave reviews for Ong-Bak it's nice to see that Jet Li's efforts in this completely absurd film come through. Surefire tongue-in-cheek mixed with great action sequences this was a real surprise with some real laugh out loud moments. Martial arts and comedy fans, check this out.

    Do not be put off by the front cover

    Do not be put off by the front cover of this film, you may think it is a mindlessly violent kung-fu film but it has a deeper meaning to it. I advise you to get this film if you feel like a good storyline and you don't mind watching the occasional fight scene.

    If you love watching kung-fu then I also advise you to watch this film because there are some brilliant close combat scenes.

    The Incredible Hulk

    • 10 Jun 2008

    Imagine Jason Bourne in stretchy pants. That's the basic idea in Marvel's relaunch for Stan Lee's Jekyll and Hyde character. Five years ago Ang Lee produced a thoughtful but self conscious and only half successful version starring Eric Bana, Jennifer Connelly and Nick Nolte. Reviews were good and bad. Business was just okay. No one from Hulk 2003 survives in 2008, except for Stan Lee and original TV Hulkster Lou Ferrigno, both of whom are back in witty cameo roles. Ed Norton takes over as...
