Jet Li once more (and for the last time, apparently) shows us how to fight. Reasonable story with slightly sub-par acting is totally redeemed by the fight scenes. Wire-work, destroyable scenery and exciting footwork all combine to make this film a must-have for kung-fu fanatics.

Be warned, this is loosly based on a true story, so the ending is a little flat. The film doesn't suffer much for it, and still has the ultimate mark of success for an action film - You leave the cinema totally wanting to learn Kung-Fu...

Missed out on top marks purely because the acting was a little sub-par and the story slightly predictable.
