    Good without getting to great
    I really enjoyed this movie, but must admit I spent the whole time feeling disappointed at the same time.

    The story is really good, delivering an interesting tale supported by mostly good acting. The fighting is a bit hit and miss, some of the fights are good others, not so much.

    It then dawned on me that this movie screams 'remake', however I think we have missed the chance to see it at its best.

    For those of you into this genre, picture this movie in your minds eye with Jet Li in it during his prime? OMG.

    It would have been one of the all time classics!
