This movie is so bad it's great!

Rating: 2/10 (18 May 2005)

This movie is terrible, but it is exactly what it's supposed to be: a western version of a kitschy, over-the-top Chinese action movie. The acting of Statham, Schulze and Berleand is passable, but the comical over-acting on the part of the rest cast would get irritating if this movie were any longer. Qi Shu makes for nice eye candy, but her grating voice, accent and over-acting shatters her sensual image every time she opens her mouth. The extended fight sequences (way too long in my opinion) are spectacular, but they can't carry the movie. The non-fight scene stunts, in my opinion, were the best parts of the movie. They were the only aspect of this movie that kept me on the edge of my seat. A bad movie, yes, but very entertaining and far from boring.
