With a different director this story had a chance

Rating: 5/10 (5 February 2001)

The film had good actors, a decent story, and beautiful locales, unfortunately John Woo's over-the-top style ruins the whole effort. Those ridiculous gravity-defying action sequences detract from the story. I'll take a good real-life stunt over those effect stunts anyday ( I mean full body motorcycle jousting, c'mon ).
Four out of ten stars. ****
