    It has a life and style that other buddy action movies lack

    Too much seriousness can be fatal to a picture like this one, since it impedes the efficient delivery of dumb laughter and easy thrills.

    It’s a film that walks a fine-line between serious superhero flick and slapstick, giving the audience a conglomerate of great martial arts moments intertwined with some very funny dialogue and impetus.

    The picture's a dud... Instead of Chow's gravitas rubbing off on the kid, Scott's dude-ness dilutes Chow's authority.

    This movie couldn't be worse if it tried. Seann William Scott couldn't be more annoying. The only positive thing I can say about this movie is that Chow Yun-Fat is amazingly cool. Watching Chow standing on top of the car w/ two guns made me remember his glory, but the rest of the movie was just trash. This is in the bottom 10 movies ever made. The fact that this movie makes every possible wrong turn is amazing. I'm offened by how bad this movie is, I'm offended for Chow and I'm most of all offended by seeing Seann William Scott in New York. The only place that California trash could survive is in Malibu, on the beach, baby. I hope I see Seann in hell before I see him in New York again.… Expand
