Top Critics Reviews
rotten:
Diverting but unmemorable martial arts feature unlikely to become a classic.

rotten:
Somewhere between masterful and messy, Yuen Woo-ping offers lots of kinetic kicks, but his CGI work deserves a kick in the pants.

A silly and yet often enjoyable action film, the movie isn't so much a winking homage to those late-'70s Hong Kong exports as another entry...

Fans don't go to martial-arts movies for the story. They want action -- and Yuen doesn't disappoint.

Fans who've been waiting 15 years for the director of "Drunken Master" to helm a new movie definitely won't be disappointed.
