there is no spoon....or logic...but it doesn't matter

Rating: 7/10 (22 June 1999)

It's obvious that the directors have seen a lot of movies from Hong Kong and the fact that Yuen Woo Ping also worked on this film as martial arts and stunt director has left it's mark on this movie. This movie has all the trademarks of a Hong Kong action movie. Beautiful visuals, furious martial arts sequences, lots of wirework, over the top violence bordering on the cartoonish and last of all a story which falls apart once you start thinking about it. Go see this movie for the visuals and action/stunt sequences. The acting is lousy although not a hinderance because there's enough going on to grab your attention. All in all an entertaining picture.
