| Just plain bad. Going into this movie, all I wanted and expected was some good ole ass kicking by Jet Li. As it turns out, the action is just okay, and easily forgettable, nothing to get overly excited by (also worth noting, this is not a wire-fu flick). What sends it into the dumpster is the filler, which you expect to be bad, but just enough to get you from one fight scene to the next. What you get is Bridget Fonda as the misplaced American prostitute, with the heart of gold, trying to win back her daughter from the crooked French police agent. What makes it so bad is that either 1. Bridget Fonda trying way too hard to deliver a solid acting performnace as the American prostitute, with the heart of gold, trying to win back her daughter from the crooked French police agent or 2. Bridget Fonda trying way too hard to deliver a campy performance as the American prostitute, with the heart of gold, trying to win back her daughter from the crooked French police agent. No amount of quality martial arts action could give back my time for having to sit through Jet Li out acting Bridget Fonda. What you wanted was a stupid Jet Li movie; what you got was a bad Bridget Fonda film. If you want to see a bad Bridget Fonda movie, may I suggest Point of No Return. |
