Just taking up space until it is there turn to be taken out. They all look the part, as we’ve come to expect them, but they are just a bunch of caricatures. Although, there are a couple of sword play scenes that are pretty good involving Jet Li ( Unleashed, The One).Īnother problem, as many movies in this genre have, is that all the Asian gang members look like they stepped right out of central casting. The title alone suggests that the makers of this film probably think that casting action stars Jet Li ( Fearless, Unleashed) and Jason Statham ( Crank, Chaos) in a movie will be sufficient to get their fans out to see it.
