i kinda liked it but my review is not powerful enough to save this movie from being doom it had a great story but not well developed it was still in the making when it came out

Dear Lord, where do I start with this one? Well, first of all, it has a shoddy plot that seems like it's riddled with bullet holes. Pretty much the entire movie, I was confused and lost in the plot. Second, it has characters nobody even cares about. Truly, like 99% of them are dead at the end of the movie. Finally, the movie has decent special effects but that's about it. It's eye candy. Don't see it, even if you're a fan of Jet Li.

Typical kung-fu/cop movie. Also a typical Li and Statham vehicle but not their best by far. An enjoyable ride if you've got a coupla hours to spare. But nothin new. Walked away feeling neither excited or disappointed.

I just couldn't get into this movie. Don't waste any time on it beyond reading this review. I'm here to tell you that it isn't as cool as it sounds. Watch Hero or Transporter if you want to see a movie with Li or Statham.

A 14%!? How did this movie get a 14%? Seriously!? I was on the edge of my seat for the whole ride. I loved the plot, the twist and the action between such powerful leading men. This movie got me pumped and deserves higher than a 14.

I don't know how you screw up an action movie with two of the biggest action stars in the business right now, but man they blew it here. The story is very generic, even its "supposedly" huge plot twist. The movie is immensely boring unless Jet Li is on the screen. I have nothing against Jason Statham, but his character was just plain boring. This is a disappointment in so many ways because it had potential to be something great. It's a pity.

Liked the idea, didn't mind the story, loathed the execution of the whole of it.

Fight scenes = Good but not always amazing, as expected from typical Statham/Li style.

Acting = Much to be desired.

Dialogue = Bleh. (not much more to say...really.)

Effects and cinematography = 2.5/4


All in all the premise is interesting, the way it was done was not.

What a boring movie it only gets better when Jet Li finally gets to do the action.

With Li and Statham this should have the lineage of a classic martial arts classic but the director forgot to tell his stars that most of the fighting will be with guns and the only one fighting is Li.

The initial premise seemed pretty good, two rival gangs fighting it out with Li playing both sides to what looked like for his own goals. But early on we know something is off as everything works to good and not to be a spoiler but once the new FBI guy joined up the writing was on the wall.

Like most fights there was alot of posing but not much action.

The editing makes this nearly unwatchable. Who said the quicker you cut away from a shot, the better the movie? I counted and the average shot lasted 1 second!!!!! that's not style...that just means that the director has no sense of cinematography or making an awesome shot, so he has to resort to cutting away before anyone notices how untalented he really is.
