The movie opens to a clash between the Chinese and Japanese. Jet is everywhere almost instantly! Firing cannons, helping wounded soldiers and moving very fast.When at last the war is over Jet goes to start a normal life again in Tsing Tao.

The Americans are celebrating and bragging about the bomb that stopped the Japanese. They give no credit to the men who fought and died fighting the Japanese any way they could. When an officers car runs over a civilian an angry crowd gathers and Jet is the angriest. A Captain, who is very tall steps out of the car and moves towards Jet. A brief struggle ensues and they drive off. Jet spends a great deal of the movie getting the hell beat out of him. He is always fighting guys twice his size. So different from virtually all others. In the final fight scene you start to see Jet is not the same . He has been changed by the war and every repercussion. The murders he is avenging. The innocence is gone. His expressions make him look older and world weary but his moves are wire free and very creative. The end fight is brutal but well deserved. Anyone who saw these movies knew Jet has a special place in the world of martial arts.

This Jet Li Movie is not only entertaining, but also shows the post-WWII Chinese soldier's treatment in their own land. This is Jet Li's first and only attempt to direct, and the movie is really straightforward. It is a very gritty movie, which honestly I find to be one of the better ones. You will see other reviews on other sites saying this movie is dark, but I feel that the movie is great as far as the storyline, fighting, and flow goes. A must-have for Jet Li Fans.
