 |  |  |  |  This is Jet Li's debut and (so far) single instance of directing a film, although he has been at one level or another of producing many of his films. He tells a simplistic story of good, small Chinese being manhandled by crude, huge, ugly Americans until one strong, hardened Chinese war veteran beats the hell out of Americans in and out of the boxing ring. The fight choreography is good. The script and direction are not. | | AGREE? | READER COMMENTS | AUTHOR | | Y | Agreed, it could have been much better. As an ex-military policeman, unfortunately soldiers do tend to think they could get away with anything in host countries. That part of the film is more realistic than most people know. | Sgt. T |

 |  |  |  |  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. | | LOG IN TO COMMENT ON THIS REVIEW! |
