Chris E gave it a10:
This movie was great. Jet Li does it again with another great action movie. This is probably his best American film so far. It doesn't compare to his chinese films like Once upon a time in China or Fearless but it was a real good action movie, i don't care what the critics say.

Micheal R gave it a5:
Anything higher then a 5 is ridiculous for this movie.I don't know how anyone could screw up a movie with Jet Li and Jason Statham but this producer should did.It never really grabs your attention.The first forty minutes are pretty boring with hardly any fighting.Jet Li and Jason only fight for about 3 minutes in the movie.I was confused near the ending so I just assumed what the ending was about.Don't even waist your time on a weekend watching this or even late at night you could spend the 2 hours reading blogs online which is much more entertaining then the movie.

Steve K gave it a5:
Cool idea - Yakuza vs. Triad in America with an unstoppable "rogue" operative who was working for one side then unexpectedly starts wiping out the other side. Compelling and interesting action flick that you can just turn your brain off... that is until the last 15 minutes. The movie jars you with a ridiculous and non-sensical twist that is like hitting the audience with a 2x4. The ending is so absurd that it caused my brain to switch back on and realize that this was a terrible movie. For the first 90% of the movie, I give it a 5.

Alejandro R. gave it a7:
The action in this movie was pretty good, it had swords, guns, and hand-to-hand combat. It also had some twists, which were entertaining. The ending had many people in the theater confused. I was looking forward to more fights between Jet Li and Jason Statham. The plot was pretty interesting. Either you are gonna love or hate the ending, no in betweens.
