I just saw it last night, and after reading about the "serious tone" of the film I was surprised to see what looked like the usual "happy-go-lucky" sort of stuff we'd expect....silly robbers, some mugging, Jackie running naked through the streets of Turkey. But about halfway through things took a turn toward darkness. I liked this...not everything needs to be sugar-coated, and we get to see Jackie act, with some good supporting players. There's a pretty vicious plot twist or two, which I felt made things even more interesting, and though I'd read about the film, it still kept my attention. On the obvious side there's some really awesome stuntwork, some of the coolest things I've seen done, and the fighting, though short is as usual fun to watch. My only complaint is that I felt things wrapped up waaaay to quickly with the major villains, and though the ending was neat, I was sort of distracted by this. All in all though, good story, good acting, and the seriousness was much appreciated...8/10
