Plot problems, flat characters, but still extremely fun., 22 February 1999
8/10
Author: (soren@primenet.com) from Bay Area, California

Not quite as coherent or well-scripted as some of his other films, Jet Li's performance is still quite good. The setting (San Francisco) makes it interesting for bay area viewers, seeing their city through the eyes of Chinese filmmakers as an exotic foreign place. Many of the characters are ridiculously flat and caricature-ish, plot complications are unlikely and unrealistic, and many are left unresolved at the end. Still, if you're a Jet Li fan and you can handle these shortcomings, you'll be as happy as a sandboy. I took two friends to see this and we all loved it.
