Dove Review

A cross between the amusing Jackie Chan and the more serious Bruce Lee, Jet Li speaks more softly than Mike Tyson, but carries a big kick. With the aid of special effects, daredevil stunts, piercing sound effects, and a pulsating rap score, the film and its star are highly energized. Unfortunately, it contains a very predictable storyline. You just know the gangster’s boy is going to get killed and the daughter kidnapped. They’re very common ploys used in martial arts action flicks. It’s Hong Kong’s version of, “We’ll head ‘em off at the pass.” This R-rated movie is salted throughout with obscenity, profanites and nudity and sexual immorality.
