Kiss of the Dragon

I decided to see this movie when it came out expecting to see what I saw in the usual Jet Li movies, wire-works (some of you kung-fu movie watchers know what I am talking about, but if you dont, wire-works is when the actor or stunt man is suspended in air or swinging on a cable performing unusual fighting moves). Wire-works are cute, but I do not like them because they are slow and take me away from the action most of the time. This movie HAS NO WIRE WORKS in the action sequences. I was so happy, finally a martial arts movie for the new millennium not caught into the new-old trend to hit Hollywood. The martial arts scenes are fast, rough, brutal, and are simply what Bruce Lee fans want to see. There was a fight scene Jet Li had in a dojo that reminded me of Chinese Connection a.k.a. Fist of Fury. The story was not bad; it was good for a martial arts action movie. Personally I would have made the movie a bit longer (like 10 or 20 minutes) to make sure people know exactly why things are going on. Its workable but would have been perfect with a little bit of information. The big one in the beginning such as the French investigator and the Chinese drug boss, the movie doesnt tell you their connection exactly but its implied. Li is an overly devoted cop, so he doesnt have much to work with until he meets Fondas character, there his character is not just doing the job but being a character. Fondas character used to be addicted to drugs and is a forced-to-be prostitute. So her reactions were pretty not bad for Fondas acting and I thought she did a good job for her given character. The score is done by Craig Armstrong (from Massive Attack), which is cool of techno/orchestra. Also there are some hip-hop songs thrown in two of the fight scenes. The one by Mystikal was bearable because of the drum beat (not a bass electronic beat) so it felt OK. Personally I dont like rap in fight scenes cause the talking (rapping) might take it away. I like rap in the background or to set a scene, not in a fight scene, unless it is instrumental.

love anything with Jet Li in it, but i do have to say that this was definitely one of his better films. Loved the fighting scenes, he just kicks ass. Definitely worth a second watch down the line.

My favorite Jet Li. Everything from the fights scenes to the music is cool. Watch it and let your life be changed.

Fast shipping, excellent quality. Very satisfied.
