Pretty Good

best movie i've ever seen.

As Good As It Gets

Strong acting helps the film overcome an uncertain premise and create characters that hold our attention absolutely.

Honestly, I had one of those videos on out of the 2 films Force Entertainment would show on each disc for 10 discs. Anyway, This film is sort of awful, what with the fighting. There was also a abusive scene there, and also a crude one as well. I just don't think why the Marine Corps should be evil. I mean sure, "they're bad guys and Jet wants revenge on them", but it's just not worth it. However, there were several scenes I liked including the final scene. It was a bit boastful with the fighting techniques, but the scene was worth it. And it would've been worth more if there was a dramatic scene there...So, overall, I'd give it a 4/10, reminding Jet Li to direct and act a bit better and put on an ending with a dramatic scene!

Reactionary Kung-Fu Revenge-Movie, thats quite heavy on the Anti-Americanism. On the one hand you got US-Soldiers racking pregnant women or kicking the crap out of invalid Rikscha-Drivers, on the other hand there's Jet Li fighting for the Honor of his compatriots. Action features some extremely gritty and bone-breaking choreographies in the best tradition of Tony Jaa. Story is quite emotional, full of unfortunate romantic involvement, good people dying, and kitschy depiction of friendship and affection. In the melodramatic scenes Hate and Pity are taken to the next level of Extremes. The MiramAxe-Version is short on some footage where people are getting peed on; wasn't too angry about missing that out, though.

I have to say, I went in expecting little since this is jet's second or third movie, but I was pleasantly surprised that it kicked major ass! There are plenty of fights in the movie and one particularly long one at the end. Also there is a pretty big war scene at the beginning of the movie that almost makes you forget this is a kung fu flick. My only gripe is that most of the fight scenes take place in the same bar and in a boxing ring so its really hard to remember individual fights as they seem to run together, except for the end fight which takes place in a warehouse. Also the movie ended a little quickly in my opinion but none the less a great martial arts movie and a great Jet Li movie!

If you want to wallow in ignorant Chinese xenophic anti-americanism, this movie's the one for you.Somehow the American Navy seems to have taken over China and prostituted their women while drinking all the beer. Characters include the cowardly black sailor, racist white boys on leave and the ever popular missing in war daughter of the disabled veteran, turned prostitute for the hated Yankees, though with a heart of gold for her countrymen.From destroying a rickshaw taking a pregnant woman to the hospital to assorted acts of drunken anti-social rampage, these Americans seem to require brutal murder for the good of the Chinese people.hmmm, sounds like Tianamen Square.
