Jet Li has made some pretty good movies such as Once Upon a Time in China and Kiss of the Dragon, but the fact is he makes more bad movies than good ones. This is one of his typical bad ones, directed by the king of schlock, Wong Jing. The lowest budget Hollywood movies put to shame the special effects in this one. It has the most obvious looking dummies I've ever seen on film. Deannie Yip(the mom) plays the only likable character in this idiotic movie.The action and suspense lack excitement because the impossible can happen at any time in this silly movie. This movie is stupid! It amazes me that this garbage can pass as entertainment in some countries.
