Great Action Movie!

Rating: Null/10 (11 July 2003)

I only saw this film recently and I have to say that it was fantastic! I was interested because Jason Statham was in the lead. I've seen him in LOCK, STOCK and SNATCH and not too long ago, I saw him in THE ONE in which he gave a great performance. Here, he gives an excellent performance as well, and excels at the martial arts he is required to do as well.
The story is very compelling. Another IMDB user pointed out a couple of plot holes, a couple of which I agree with, but besides that, the story is great. Apart from Statham there are great performances from Shu Qi, Francois Bernhard and Matt Schulze (THE FAST AND THE FURIOUS) as suave villain 'Wall Street'. The action sequences are all handled brilliantly, such as when Statham takes over a speeding truck. I strongly recommend this film. If he keeps making films like this, Mr. Statham could join Vin Diesel as one of today's up and coming action stars.
