The fact that it stars Lucy Liu as a kick-ass assassin who, in one early sequence, escapes a squad of some 50 or so heavily-armed attackers with nothing but a couple of fight batons and the weapons that they’ve managed to drop along the way earns it a B+. Sure, the third act is just a bunch of loud explosions, but Antonio Banderas is all scruffy and cute, and Gregg Henry plays a great smarmy bad guy, as usual. The criticism of Liu's acting is also way off base: she's playing an emotionless killer -- so guess what, there's not a lot to play. And actually, there are a couple of nice beats where she does reveal some vulnerability. But obviously, Kaos is not exactly an actor's director, and the script does her no favors. It's just your basic over-the-top shoot-'em-up thriller. Enjoy the nicely choreographed fight sequences and car chases, along with the always lovely Lucy Liu in bad-ass mode and call it a day.… Expand

I rate this movie 10/10! Recently, my great grandfather was dying in the hospital and once i showed him this movie, he wasn't going to die and was really happy to be still alive. Without this movie, my great grandfather would be gone.

By far the best movie I have ever seen and it is a far, far better thing to do than I have ever done. And it is a far, far rest that I go to that I have ever known. The soundtrack of this movie was also a high point in this already amazingBy far the best movie I have ever seen and it is a far, far better thing to do than I have ever done. And it is a far, far rest that I go to that I have ever known. The soundtrack of this movie was also a high point in this already amazing movie with non-diagetic sound bursting through the speakers giving me multiple eargasms at once. And the acting, oh the acting, I must applaud the actors in this movie for their tremendous job in portraying the characters. They really become the characters and not simply act like the characters they were given. For example, the quoting by Ecks, oh dear lord that was amazing! That story about how his father gave him scars. I proudly relay the whole quote to my friends having learnt it off by heart. And the acting by Sever and his quote of how an unstoppable force meets an immovable object? Truly inspirational and amazing. This is a movie I would recommend to any friend or foe alike. PLEASE WATCH THIS MOVIE IT IS REALLY WORTH IT!! Yours SINCERELY,
The Crew from the Dark Knight.… Expand

it's nothing but martial arts, corny fighting scenes and bad setting.

An outstanding display of continuous badassery, it's action sequences give it the 10 points on their own.

I don't see what did they wanted to achieve with this "movie", to me it was like watching a 1970's spies TV show or something like that it was a story that came out of nowhere, very disappointing, the only good about this movie was the title.

You could never see how bad this movie could turn out. Unfortunately, it turned out so bad that's not even enjoyable from the start to the finish. It's basically too much action that turned out wrong.

It's a sleek action thriller with little CGI, great stunts, chases, martial arts and gun fights! The photography is sleek and the Soundtrack slays too. The cast overall is great and looks great on camera. Lucy Liu and her stunt double are impressive. Yes it's goofy, over the top and silly but so are the super hero movies that are so praised and successful while being CGI messy turds.… Expand

I love Martial arts and I love action movies. John wick was one of the best action moves of recent years along with the Raid 1 and 2.

This film is an insult to those films.....it's really, really, really, really bad! Been over 10 yearsI love Martial arts and I love action movies. John wick was one of the best action moves of recent years along with the Raid 1 and 2.

This film is an insult to those films.....it's really, really, really, really bad! Been over 10 years since I have seen this film and even now all I can rember is how much I hated this film.

Oh boy. I don't know what to tell you about this movie: Corny and unbelievable gun fights, martial arts scenes, and obscene dialogue. Pros: Lucy Liu
