I love this movie because there is no bad language or adult themes. Chow Yun Fat exudes gentleness and patience; humor and wisdom in this role. And while there are some very grueling fight scenes the end in this case justifies the means in that he is protecting something very valuable and worth protecting and does so with no more violence than is absolutely necessary. As a subtext, I got from the film that with each succesive protector the means to afford that protection must escalate in proportion to the forces bent of obtaining and misusing it. The dialogue is clever enough but it's the chemistry between Seann William Scott and Chow Yun Fat that drive the film. With a tip of the hat to one of my personal favorites, Mako. Sure it's escapist but this is a feel good movie anyone can enjoy. And this particular DVD was chock full of extras that added the much more to my enjoyment and understanding of the film.Read full review
I rated this movie good for what type of movie it is: a B-grade popcorn Kung-Fu flick. Campy wire-assisted action flick that keeps the action light hearted as East meets West and the villian is an aging Nazi. Chow Yun-Fat is very likeable & his moves are smooth & sylish. The DVD has a bunch of special features. If you like this type of movie you will plenty to enjoy in this, if goofy martial arts flicks are not your thing then don't waste your time, because this will just be another stupid action flick. If this review helps you make your buying or not buying decision please rate my review. It lets me know what people are looking for in a review. Thanks!
I saw half this movie channel surfing late one night. Knew I had to see whole movie. This dvd did not disappoint. And after watching it I’m passing it around to my friends. All for the price of one senior movie ticket! Great value. Good movie.
