Watched it last night and its been a while since I have seen Jet Li have such realistic fight sequences.
Impressive and obviously the fight choreographer borrowed a page from Ong Bak and Tony Jaa. Only thing is Jaa was a heck of a lot more impressive.
The story is a little tepid and meanders with a lot of inconsistency from beginning to end. But there are a lot of good scenes. Hoskins and Li perform very well while Freeman, whom I had high hopes of, seems to just go through in a daze.
The fight scenes are few and far between, though when they are there, they are pretty powerful and good. It is more story driven (as Beson films nowadays typically are)
Relatively entertaining, not gonna win awards but then not many flicks like this do.
3.5/5 OSNN rating.
