The action sequences, particularly those with Jet, are better than many I have seen in American movies. The choreography is marvelous until Jet's character begins to fight the villain, at which point it gets a little Hong-Kongy.
Tsui Hark would do much better, but this is not bad for an early effort.
The best part of this movie are the genuine martial arts elements. The "he wasn't ready yet" bit at the Kung Fu school was just hilarious and reminded me of Bruce Lee's comments about a "classical mess".
Jet's movements even when he is just walking or sitting down, are sheer poetry. It is fun to watch him.
