  2. Negative: 3 out of 26
  1. It is not merely a thriller but a shocker. It will separate hard-core Jet Li followers from the fair-weather fans.
  2. 80
    A veteran of commercials and music videos, director Chris Nahon crowds out too much of the sprawling combat gymnastics, but his film doesn't lack for luxuriously seedy ambience --his Paris is a retro-futurist sewer.
  3. 60
    Will probably please hard-core action fans who have become inured to plot idiocies, but it remains a terrible waste of talent.
  4. 38
    Li is powerless when the film slows to a crawl to provide a little drama.

    If you're into action packed films with lots of fighting and a weak plot then this is the film for you.
    I wasn't to keen on this film but I kn
    ow many men who like it so I'm thinking it might be something to do with it being full of fighting which I'm not too keen of. It's also something for 'Jet Li' fans as he is the main character in this film so appears in it throughout the whole film. I'm giving it a five due to my opinion of that type of film not the film itself. So others are bound to disagree with me. Collapse
