Q: plot :
jet li is a chinese cop asked to help some french policemen nab a bad guy .
but one thing leads to another , and the next thing you know
, li 's being chased by the same french cops with whom he was supposed to be working .
a lot of ass - kicking , face - whippings , gun fights
and . . . okay , a little more ass - kicking ensues .
critique : very cool !
now here 's a movie that gives you exactly what you 're looking for
, if what you 're looking for is kickass action , a palpable good cop / bad cop story line , some hardcore stunts and jet li slam - dunking everyone in sight !
the film also moves fast ( a mere 95 minutes ) , develops a certain " cute " chemistry between fonda and li , has nice surroundings
( paris , baby ! )
and gives us one of the best bad guys that i 've seen all year .
tcheky karyo is the devil incarnate in this film .
he is pure evil .
they should have called this movie bad lieutenant 2 as keitel has nothing on this man .
what a great , great monster !
my favorite line of tcheky 's was when li was explaining the whole " kiss of the dragon " thing to him
and he cut him off by saying " kiss my ass !
" pure action movie poetry .
anyway , other than him , jet li also handled his " acting " pretty well in this film , with very little real dialogue to say , but enough to make us believe his character .
actually , just looking into the man 's eyes generally tells you a lot .
fonda was also pretty good , despite playing one of the most trashy and abused women that i have seen in quite some time , but i still felt kinda bad for her
, so i guess she did her job
okay .
but in the end , nobody goes to see this kind of movie for oscar performances .
we go to see jet li movies because we want to see jet li kicking a lot of ass from side to side , and this film delivers gangbusters on that front .
and yes . . .
they have no wire - fu in this movie .
. .
i say again . . .
no wire - work , no bullshit stunts with li floating around in mid - air for over a minute .
it 's all straight action , fist to fist , boot to face and all around cool stunts .
if that 's what you 're looking for ,
i do n't see how you will be disappointed with this film .
yes , it 's not very original in plot ( just take luc besson 's own la femme nikita and mix in plenty of his own the professional et voila ! ) , does have an annoying hip - hoppy soundtrack that just got on my nerves after a while ( i also would have gotten rid of the whole acupuncture thang . . . ) and will have anyone not willing to restrain their disbelief , rolling their eyes all over the place .
but was i entertained ?
thoroughly .
does the film feature more gunplay , martial arts and over - the - top kills that most recent action flicks ?
yes , again .
does this sound interesting to you ?
well , the answer to that question is entirely up to you .
one thing that i would definitely recommend is , as jet li pointed out himself on his website , that you leave the kids at home for this one .
in fact , you might even wanna
leave yourself if you ca n't handle the more violent of sequences .
all in all , a rippin ' , roarin ' fun time !
where 's joblo coming from ?
black mask ( 5/10 )
- blade ( 7/10 ) - la femme nikita
( 8/10 ) - lethal weapon 4 ( 7/10 ) - the matrix ( 8/10 ) -
the professional ( 9/10 ) - romeo must die ( 3/10 ) - rush hour ( 7/10 ) - shanghai noon ( 6/10 )

Q: jamaica is a hot vacation spot .
the exchange rate encourages delusions of wealth ( approximately 30 jamaican dollars to one american ) , the sea is a brilliant blue , the air is warm but lacks humidity .
and as tourism is unfortunately jamaica 's biggest trade , foreigners enter and leave with a sense of relaxation .
life and debt takes a brassy look at life inside this impoverished country .
while normal documentaries take the sally struthers approach of underlying scenes of starving children with tearful music , this film guides the viewer with a sarcastic voiceover that brings the troubles home without begging tears to the surface .
the voiceover is written by acclaimed author jamaica kincaid .
it guides the audience along a tourist 's journey and the story of the native inhabitants .
instead of telling you what you are already seeing on screen , it quips , " you do n't see what happens after you flush the toilet .
" this engages a viewer to see and think about devastation instead of merely being told it is there .
this strong , sparse storytelling approach runs throughout the film .
stephanie black is also intelligent in how she chooses to disclose the problems faced by the locals .
this is n't just another talking head show of people moaning about their horrible lot in life .
people are interviewed from all sectors of occupation , from field to factory , as well as social theorists and the banking organizations that continue to invest in the country .
the variety of discussion perpetuates a compelling internal dialogue with any viewer , whether they are seeing jamaica for the first time or not .
of course , as can be expected , the united states is slammed , owing to its involvement with the international monetary fund and the world bank .
officials look moronic as they explain why their plans for jamaica 's economy will help the country back on its feet , but only if they are willing to follow the advice word for word .
the next moment we see why and how each of these initiatives has failed , usually due to imports being cheaper than local labor or whether or not the soil is appropriate for the next agricultural trend the u . s . is forcing on the citizens .
admittedly , some of the back and forth between the business - minded organizations and the failures they produce gets repetitive , but it also drives home the impact ignorance can have on both sides of an international argument .
but jamaica is n't against the united states , and this documentary does not accuse the u . s .
of being the sole perpetrator of its grief .
if anything , it begs for a better understanding of the nature of jamaican society before stepping in to change it based on foreign regulations .

Q: a pseudo - intellectual film about the pseudo - intellectual world of art magazines ,
high art is as wasted as its drug - addled protagonists .
in the only notable part of the movie , ally sheedy and radha mitchell deliver nice performances in the two leading roles , not that lisa cholodenko 's script or direction makes you care much about either character . living in a world of heroin induced highs , they float along until they fall in love with each other .
this uninviting picture , full of pretentious minor characters , has a receptionist that reads dostoevski and a woman in the restroom line who is a certified genius , having recently been awarded a prestigious mcarthur grant .
24-year - old syd ( radha mitchell ) , who has a rather bland , live - in boyfriend , was just promoted to assistant editor at the artistic photography magazine " frame .
"
although the receptionist is impressed , syd is mainly a gofer for her boss until she meets famous photographer lucy berliner ( ally sheedy ) . for her to do photos for " frame , " lucy demands that syd be promoted to editor and assigned to her since lucy fancies her .
lucy lives with her current lover , a washed up german actress named greta , played with a frequently indecipherable series of mumbles by patricia clarkson .
the two of them and their friends wile away their time snorting and shooting up dope , usually heroin .
this does not happen in a single episode , but becomes more commonplace than sleeping in the picture .
syd , who lives in the apartment below them , joins in on the fun and becomes a member of the zombie club .
lucy seems pretty happy with her life of drugs , which apparently is funded by her mother .
lucy quit working professionally 10 years ago since she thought she was being " pigeonholed , " and , since her mother has money , we can only assume that that 's how lucy supports her habit and procures her living expenses .
a typical scene has the editors arguing about whether a potential photographer 's work is transcendental or merely classical . that no one has a clue as to the dogma they are spouting becomes obvious but not particularly funny .
"
your work has a cultural currency that is important now , " is the artist - speak that the frame 's manager uses to convince lucy to show her pictures in the magazine .
when the big scene comes in which lucy puts the moves on syd , her idea of a romantic line is , " i want to get high with you .
" in lucy 's world , sex and drugs come hand - in - hand .
and the movie , except for the obligatory scene of someone almost overdosing , shows drug usage as being a hip and natural part of the art scene .
this vacuous picture throws in a standard downer ending
in an attempt to manipulate our emotions .
in another movie , it might have worked , but in this one the reaction is likely to be decidedly muted .
high art runs 1 : 36 .
it is rated r for explicit sex , pervasive drug use and language and is not appropriate for those younger than college age .
