This movie, despite its rich cast of HK martial arts stars, has more Die Hard-style action in it than anything else. There are only two scenes in the movie that could be called fight scenes, and only one was particularly good. If you're planning on seeing this movie hoping for a Jet Li kung-fu flick, you will be disappointed.
However, the film has no end of action. Just think of any typical Hollywood blow-em-up, add some acrobatic stunts, and you'll be there. There's the usual dash of HK-humor in there, highlighted by Jackie Cheung looking and acting like Bruce Lee. His one real fight scene manages to steal the show; it's a lot like a "best of" compilation of Lee's fight scenes.
The movie doesn't break any ground in the action genre, the martial arts is sparse and for the most part so-so, and the ending is anti-climactic. All in all, it was an average film, worth at least one rent. But probably not two.
