Sure, there are some pretty decent stunts and a couple of good fight scenes and they threw in some grappling styles you don't see too often in HK cinema. Overall, though, the story was lame and tired and there was zero substance at all--all the characters were so cliche that they didn't bother giving us any backstory because we have the rest of the movies ever made as reference material.

This movie is best watched on fast forward--like porn--through the talking bits and just go straight for the action and then drop it back off at the video store so you can forget it ever existed. Huge disappointment considering all the hype around this one. SPL is fantastic. See that instead.
