Top Critics Reviews

rotten:
Kiss of the Dragon does have a sense of its own absurdity, but that doesn't prevent it from cloaking the inherently comic kung-fu genre in a seriousness so solemn that it could be French.

rotten:
Kiss of the Dragon offers just about a kill a minute, but less than a thrill a minute.

rotten:
The characters in Kiss of the Dragon are more cardboard than usual for an action movie.

Li jumps into a series of martial arts sequences of flying fists and balletic moves that truly reinvigorate a genre that has gone stale even in Asia.

Whack! Thworp! Crack! Sometimes, it's fun to sit back and enjoy the spectacle of bad guys getting their heads beaten in.
