This is by far Jet Li's best English language film, and one of the finest of his career, not because of the thrillingly choreographed fight sequences but because of its well constructed story and Li's riveting performance.

It's the same stuff that as we always get where like the henchman come up to him one by one.

The film contains enough quiet, reflective moments for us to become aware how preposterous the central conceit is, and that keeps us at arm's length. For a movie that strives to be in-your-face, that's too far away.

Li's dramatic turn is no match for his fists of fury.

A nice, violent little film about the redemptive powers of art and love.

We're treated to some impressively percussive fights.

Unfortunately, the fight scenes (and there are several) are very frontloaded.

a dog of a movie, better not unleashed on any discerning viewer.

Li's fighting sequences are unique for their street fighting style of realism and brutality...

An irritating excuse to glorify senseless slaughter!

An intriguing little action thriller, a half-and-half story divided between sequences of vicious violence and quiet, wryly comic scenes of newfound domesticity.

A film that could use a little less conversation, a lot more action.
