While it is nice to watch Jet Li, Mark Dacascos and Kelly Hu work together and participate in such great action choregraphy and stunt coordination, so much effort is wasted on this Hip Hop/Kung Fu Hollywood spectacle, filled with so much bland acting from Jet Li, worse acting by these so-called rapper/actor types DMX and Drag-On, and a storyline filled with so many hole, you'd think the writer had termites!
With all this said, if you choose to buy this movie, take it for what it is: 2 hours of watching Jet Li do what he does best. The rest is bananas!

This is probably the best of Jet Li's American films to date (yet to see "Unleashed" though). Sadly Mark Dacascos isn't given enough to do, and his end fight with Jet Li is too short and has to share too much screen time with DMX's fight scene. DMX is a hell of a lot better here than he was in "Romeo Must Die", but could definitely do with a few more acting screen fighting lessons.
Nice seeing Chuck Liddell, Tito Ortiz and Randy Couture as cage fighters. According to the featurette, Hector Echavarria was one of them too. Didn't spot him, or I may have turned the film off. "Extreme Force" is one of the worst films I own.
Whilst this may be a good US Jet Li film, it doesn't hold up much to comparisons with "Martial Arts of Shaolin" or "Fist of Legend". Mind you, what does?
