Brilliantly acted and paced hitman action movie that runs out of steam well before the credits.

Not one of Jet Li’s crown jewels, though it’s certainly a far cry better than the pathetic Romeo Must Die.

A movie that touches on many powerful, provocative issues but also leaves me strangely cold and unaffected.

Simply describing this film as a movie about a bunch of Shaolin monks playing soccer might be accurate enough, but it barely scratches the surface.

A wonderful, sensitive movie about the constraints of society on individualism and the requirements of compromise.

Yes, it’s silly and cheesy, but what else do you expect from a kung fu movie with the “duck” style?
