    It has excellent action with a surprisingly good plot, what else does there need to be?

    This movie was enjoyable if you are blind, deaf, and can't hear. You would find it interesting if you were temporarily unconcious or temporarily brain dead. The plot was less interesting than the paint drying behind the television T.V. set. There was no love in this, homey.

    I liked the acting, I think Li is cute, Aliyah.... left someting to be desired, and the moves, although they might be computer aided, were still cool. Call me blind, but I'd rather enjoy the movie than pick out its flaws.

    forget the critics this movie was great. It had a perfect balance of action, drama and romance and I believe Aaliyah did great to say this is her first film.

    Very stylish, but no real crisis and too much Matrix. Also, can there any less chemistry between two would-be romantic leads??

    The fighting scenes were cool but I was very disappointed to find out that Jet Li didn't do a lot of his own stunts. I liked the plot, and I thought all the acting was pretty good. This is a movie you could watch a couple of times (not in a row) and still not get sick of the action.

    Mind-numbingly bad. Only the occasionally dazzling action scenes can save the film from the absolute lowest rating possible.

    (Li)'s scenes are so clearly computer-aided that his moves are about as impressive as Bugs Bunny doing the same.
  2. Based on "Romeo and Juliet" the way a martini is "based" on vermouth.
  3. Aspires to rise above the conventional drugs-and-action genre and succeeds about half the time.
