Goofs

When Xian was about to go to the Chinese embassy, she was stuck in traffic, then borrowed Payu's cellphone to call her female police guard. Strangely, the police could immediately find out that Xian was the one who contacted her, even though Xian called with Payu's cellphone.

User Reviews

Too little with too much

Like the title says, the director has too much martial arts star power and too little to do with all of it. First and foremost tiger chen , has a very generic fight style and it brought down the scenes he was in. Iko continually gets beat down but thanks to overused cliches the bad guys talk too much and he gets in his hits. Tony jaa even feela slightly wasted compared to the protector. The final fight feels meh, without spoiling too much, that fight should have went a little different, but the director played it like an old action movie with no twist or anything that suprised us. Summed up, considering the star power in the movie, it should have been better done. I'm a huge fan of most of the cast and this movie failed to showcase their skills or fighting styles. Watch once and done.
