Dirtylogy It's funny, it's tense, it features two great performances from two actors and the director expertly creates a web of odd tension where you actually don't know what is happening for the majority of the run time.

Derry Herrera Not sure how, but this is easily one of the best movies all summer. Multiple levels of funny, never takes itself seriously, super colorful, and creative.

Fleur Actress is magnificent and exudes a hypnotic screen presence in this affecting drama.

Scarlet The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

Mike Corbeil I won't get into details and will just say that it's a worthwhile martial arts film; plenty of strong fighting that only people in truly top fitness, plus skill training, should ever consider being involved in or with. And, there's the warm family touch. Johnny is quite a young lad in this film, his fighting and courage choreography being I guess top-notch. I don't know filmmaking from experience, so based on this, I think this youth is amazing. At one point, he's attacked by bully kids at his school and he pins the main bully to a wall, with his leg nicely lifted up so that his foot is pressing against the bottom of the chin of the main bully. I don't have such flexibility. If I tried anything of the like, then I'd surely be leaning the back backwards a lot more than Johnny did, for he was almost perfectly upright, except for the leg used to pin the main bully against the wall. I don't have that kind of flexibility and imagine that this Johnny lad does; choreographed, or not.With that said, I think that anyone who likes martial arts films that have good morals against criminal ones, plus a touch of love, well, it's a worthwhile film.It's interesting, is thriller for sure, well choreographed, and action, plus the touch of love.Why this film has only 6.6/10 for average IMDb user rating is a little "beyond me". I'll give it 8/10 and am not sure that it shouldn't be more but 8/10 seems at least reasonable for a start, given that I'm not a film expert. One thing for sure is that I'd recommend this film to anyone I know to like martial arts with moral values and "a touch of love" or, if you prefer, romance.As I said at the start, I won't get into details, meaning technical kind. This review is just a general kind or a "rough" overview, say. Were any mistakes made in any parts of the film? I don't know and also don't care about it, for this is just entertainment, or as is said in French, "divertissement".

bob the moo Wei Kung is a husband and a father but also an undercover cop. Leaving his sick wife in the care of his young son, Wei takes an undercover assignment to use small-time criminal G-Dog to get close to Po Kwong and bring down his gang. Forced to take part in a job to win the gang's trust brings Wei to the attention of Inspector Anna Fong, who goes after him even though she suspects there is more to him than just a criminal. Wei makes progress in the gang, but changes in his family situation see his son, Johnny, put in danger.As Jet Li's fame grew he started doing more films with modern heroes as opposed to those of Once Upon A Time In China, Fist of Legend, Twin Warriors etc and this film is one of those. As is too often the case with action movies all over the world, the plot is pretty weak with some plot twists being poorly delivered devices just to get the characters where they need to be; certainly anyone looking for strong characters or sensitive writing will be left wondering why they bothered, but then this is an action movie so why be surprised? The plot contrives to bring Anna Fong into the film in place of Wei's wife and it feels cruel and cold the way it is done; once it is done of course it more or less works for the rest of the film but it just makes the whole film feel forced for about 30 minutes or so.Jet Li does well in the lead and he is a good enough actor to try and provide emotion where the script gives him none and the film has no patience to allow him much time to let his character feel anything other than bad guy's kicks. He is physically impressive but he also shows a good range here in limited opportunities. The role of Johnny could have been an annoying kid role and, in a way, it is, but the casting of little Miu Tse at least makes the role one that contributes to the action. The kid they had dubbing him in the version I saw, turned his dialogue into a typically Hollywood cutesy role but Tse himself is very impressive in his action scenes and makes up for the rest of his character's failing. Anita Mui is also physically very impressive and has some good action scenes and it is not her fault that her character is rather shoehorned into the film at the expensive of logic and emotional involvement.Overall this is an OK film but some will dislike the rather shoddy plot and the way it doesn't really deliver the emotions that the plot events suggest that it should. However what it does do is action and there are many good fights here involving all the main cast with only one or two moments where I felt the wirework was badly done.

Mental09 This is one incredible flick. It has everything: Great acting, great fighting, great humor, great warmth, great fighting, great feet, great explosions, great breath, great kid, great father, kick-a** cop, greeeaat women, great plot, wonderful story, great pace, amazing filming and of course; great fighting.This has got to be one of the greatest movies ever. Even MI:2 looks dull compared to this. My recommendation? See this movie. Then see it again. Then rewind and see all the fight-sequences. This is a buyer, keeper and the greatest guy-entertainment ever.

crono_ Before I say anything, I'd like to say that I think Jet Li is great. I'm a huge fan of Hong Kong cinema, and Jet Li is a living legend in action films. It's not Jet that is the problem...The plot is standard fare. Jet Li is an undercover cop who's on the job actions led him to be wanted by the police. His wife dies, and his kid is left to fend for himself. Anita Mui plays a tough Hong Kong cop who uncovers Li for who he is, and makes it her duty to protect the kid. Where this film falls flat is the incredibly unbelievable action sequences and plot circumstances. I don't want to give any spoilers, but just as an example- Anita Mui and this little kid taking down five or six armed thugs. I don't care if she is the top Hong Kong cop, and I don't care if the kid is the world's greatest kung fu kid- no WAY. How about Jet Li and the kid defeating even larger groups of terrorists (in a specific way that both defies gravity and is laughably lame)? That's just two examples of many instances where this becomes nearly un-watchable. I'm not saying an action movie has to be realistic to be entertaining, but please don't insult the viewers intelligence!To be fair, this film isn't totally lost. Li does one of his better acting jobs, and Anita Mui is excellent. The drama side of things is all right, and there were a couple instances of watchable action. But Jet Li can do way better. Jet Li HAS done way better. Just look at "Fist Of Legend", for example.Overall, don't waste your time with this one. 4 out of 10.
