Who cares?

Rating: 1/10 (3 June 2003)

This movie tells a tightly knit and believable story that is also very engrossing. The actors are excellent and the direction is top-notch. However, I must ask- who cares? This is a martial arts movie, people want to see martial arts, not a bunch of idiots flying around on wires! Why do you think "Iron Monkey" and "Romeo Must Die" were flops? At least "The One" and "The Matrix" had truly interesting plots and, more importently, real martial arts to back up the computer-generated effects. If you want to see real modern martial arts movies, check out "The Legend of Drunken Master" or "Fist of Legend", or check out classics like "36 Crazy Fists" or any of Bruce Lee's movies ("Fists of Fury", "The Chinese Connection", "Return of the Dragon", or "Enter the Dragon". Avoid, however, "Game of Death").
