This movie has no idea what it wants to be. It tries to be a martial arts movie, a drama, and a romance, and fails on all three fronts. Miserably. There is no climactic battle at the end; most of the fighting happens in the very beginning, then infrequently and sporadically for the rest of the first half, then drops down to practically nonexistent at the end. The acting and emotions on display are not even comparable to any respectable drama, even some of the unrespectable ones. And I guess there's no real romance at all. Period. Also, the middle half was extremely boring.
Where there was action, it was good. But I've seen better. I don't know why Jet Li is proud to have this movie be his final martial arts movie. There is absolutely nothing exceptional about it in any way.IMDb link: http://imdb.com/title/tt0446059/
