Not a martial arts movie December 10, 2008 It seems many people think this would be a martial arts film due to the fact that Jet Li is in it, but not so.
The movie is not all that bad, it has a decent plot and storyline. Anyone who is a Jet Li fan will probably want to take a look as he steps out of his traditional role and goes for something a bit different. But don't hold your breath waiting for some riveting, high quality fight scenes or you will pass out before long. ;)
Is it a movie to add to your home collection? Perhaps not..best to rent it. But I think it is worth a bowl of popcorn and 2 hours. Enjoy!
From J. Kaye's Book (and Movie) Blog December 5, 2008 Jason Statham and Jet Li on the screen together brought images. I went in thinking this would be a cross between WANTED and SPEED. There was plenty of action and shoot `em up screens, but again, it's the major complaint I'd had with most of the movies this year. The ending. It pissed me off to the point I was sorry I bothered watching the movie. Is this a backlash of the writer's strike or something? I don't expect much of a plot with these sorts of films, but please, give me something. That ending was beyond stupid!
I admit, I watched it for Jason Statham October 29, 2008 0 out of 1 found this review helpful
...and he did shoot a lot of people, so it was the action-packed kind of movie you've come to expect from him (I read rumors about there being a movie where he didn't shoot someone!). But it was also a 'who is the bad guy, really?' kind of movie that kept you guessing and wondering.
The ending was, in a lot of ways, pretty unresolved. You have an idea of what happened - perhaps - but there was also a little bit of wiggle room. It's not completely clear (I can't say much else without giving away too much plot!). So if you need a very clear-cut ending, with no dangling strings, this movie will drive you crazy. If you like that little bit of 'what if?', then this movie is great.
Mostly it was a very violent shoot'em up action thriller, nothing more, nothing less. Forgettable, but fun while you're watching it. I'd recommend it to people who like mindless action flicks.
War review September 7, 2008 JetLi and Jason- what a combination, their engrossing (film) personalities and their acting skills make this an enjoyable action flick.
