This movie is action-packed and entertaining. Of course, it's not meant to be a brain twister; that's not what a martial arts film is all about. The fighting scenes in the film are the result of human skill rather than visual cinematronics. When you see Jet Li take on a villain, you can believe it, unlike the phoney crap you see in films like "Tomb Raider". I definitely would recommend this film to anyone with a taste for action and the martial arts. The acting may not get an academy award, but Luc Besson does a good job of compensating for any dramatic flaws with good directing and experience. Furthermore, the film had a decent budget put into it. The stunts are excellent and the sets are well arranged. This is an excellent martial arts film that finally does not have the vein persona of Jean Claude Van Damme in it. What a relief! It's definitely not meant for kids or the faint-of-heart, but it is meant for those who want to go to the movies and just be entertained for two hours.
