    Despite not having too many creative fight scenes, it was a very easy watching film.

    I liked the comic sidekick in this film the most.

    An atypical Jet Li movie, but backed up well by veterans Eric Tsang, noted for his comedy and Simon Yam, veteran action star who I believe is one of the underrated stars in the HK film industry.


    Well, its a Jet Li action flick, excpect plenty of kick ass, and Jet Li is an okay ...( read more)actor, this still wasnt one of his best films, but still watchable. Its interesting enough, plot wise and better than most other action movies. Then again, noone watched HK action movies for the plot. XD

    If you're a Jet Li fan, watch it.

    Now this is what i like! One of my favorite Jet Li films. For some reason this film isn't as well known to people as it should be. A cult classic then!

    Eric Tsang and Jet Li have some great chemistry.

    This is great fun all the way, with fantastic fight scenes, a cool story and a wonderful final. All the characters are great, and i thought Keiji Sato was quite menacing as the main villain, plus Jet Li is simply amazing in this. The fight choreography is excellent,...( read more) and the character development is quite good as well, plus Jet Li and Eric Tsang had great chemistry together. The plot is very well done and the ending is great. Simon Yam absolutely great in his role, had that great look of intensity on his face at all times, and was especially awesome in the final.
