Mediocre action drama with some comedy. The story isn't very complex and is a somewhat idiosyncratic mix of genres. The execution is a bit disappointing. The beginning is okay, and the viewer is treated to a nice display of kung fu. But in the second quarter, the film sags considerably and never recovers. The focus then shifts more to the drama and romance, with mild comedic elements. That, combined with the long running time, requires quite a bit of perseverance. The fight scenes are well shot and look realistic. The acting is decent, but the chemistry between Liu and Borello isn't quite there. 2.5/3.0

A completely pointless revenge movie with a female Jason Statham.
And then in Italian and Chinese.
And consistently keeping that up; wonderful.
Difficult, but delicious. For that reason alone, a bonus half-star.
Entertaining pulp. A tad long, but entertaining.
3.5✨
