I mean it has Jet Li kick butt all over the place and has some nice wire fu. But it can't compensate its tedious story, lack of character development and awkward love angle. Generally I liked the first half where Jet Li kicks not one but three officers and have them float in mid air i thought that was kind of cool. I also like the climatic scene were he battles himself. But the things that I was bothered by is why not explore the parrallel multi-universe plot by showing how he got stronger instead of explaining it. It should have shown Jet Li kill one of his Doppelganger then showing how he got stronger. Another there was no character development what so ever. All the actors seemed to be reciting the script instead of having genuine passion to act it out. Only Delroy Lindo stood out played one of multiverse cops. Lastly is the love angle between Jet Li and his wife played by Carla Gugino who seems bored and embarrassed when they share their scenes together. They have no absolute chemistry. All in all see this movie for Jet Li martials actions other than that you'll be disappointed if you're looking for a decent story and some memorable characters.6/10 |
