As a long time Martial Arts movie fan, I have mixed feelings about this one. It was great to watch Jet Li and Jackie Chan work together with everybody on and off the screen kind of sharing the "secret handshake" of the all-knowing/have-done-it-all duo.
Too bad this pairing happened in a movie so typically Hollywood with all the uninteresting cliche's. That Boston kid kept reminding me of the Karate Kid and his training, "wax on, wax off." And why the heck does the cute Asian girl always get paired with the "diamond-in-the-rough" Caucasian guy?
Two out of 5 stars..

- No offense, but I both liked this film quite a bit better; at least 3 & 1/2 of 5 well choreographed stars. - Audiophilander 00:42:52 04/27/08 (0)
