The Good:
Decent fight scenes.
I generally enjoy Jet Li and Jason Statham was great in The Transporter.
The plot seemed familiar... oh yeah, the classic A Fist Full of Dollars plot, it is always fun to see it executed in a different setting.
I liked the Asian club scene, cool girl in the dark Go-Go dancers!
The Bad:
Ugh... action movies with multiple "twists" are kind of annoying... unless the twists are good.
Wow, I guess the Yakuza and the Triads are idiots!
Not nearly enough hand-to-hand combat for Jet Li to have a lead role in it.
Parts of it were directed so fast and choppy it was difficult to watch.
The dialog was so-so at best.
Overall: There are plenty of better action movies out there to see. Unless you really like morons engaging in gang warfare, there is little reason to see this film. It lacks the H2H of a good Jet Li movie and the interesting western combat stylings of a good Jason Statham film.
