Thought this was going to be good stupid fun - sadly my rather hopeful oxymoron was wasted. You'd think that pitting the balletic grace of Jet Li against the bull-in-a-china-shop urgency of Jason Statham would make the fight scenes entertaining if nothing else. Unfortunately they barely meet and when they finally have a barney, the action is so pedestrian and clumsily directed that there's nothing to get excited about. There's a hint of a good story in there somewhere - revenge obsessed hitman guy works for the Yakuza and the Triads and takes them both down whilst being hunted by a revenge obsessed FBI guy. For a film that's all about executions though, it's very poorly executed (snarf, me clever). I ate two creme eggs in a row during this.
