Goofs

When Danny sits in the car with Bart and the other companions he pulls the steering wheel and they flip over. While they are flipping over you can see a plate on the bottom of the car (possibly for the stunt), but in the next scene you see the car on its back missing the plate. See more »

One of the best movies I've seen recently
13 May 2005 | by (United States) – See all my reviews

This was a breakthrough performance for Jet Li. It was nice to see him get away from just being the amazing fighter, and seeing him in a little bit more of a serious role. Of course Morgan Freeman was simply brilliant, and Bob Hoskins did an amazing job as the villain.

This movie had a lot less action than I had anticipated, but the story behind it makes it much better than any amount of action/violence could have. The theater was full of people laughing, gasping or being COMPLETELY silent as one. It was the perfect mix of action and comedy within a heartfelt story.

I recommend this movie to any fan of any movie EVER!
