Meh. It was okay. Nice music. Special effects were horrible. You might as well see the strings and such. I didn't like it too much. Then again, I didn't like the Matrix much either, so if you liked the Matrix, go see this movie.

It probably helps that Chow Yun Fat is an actor, not a martial artist, so you really can't expect of him the same kind of stunts that Jackie Chan and Bruce Lee pull off. The story was somewhat contrived as well, but Nazis seem to be popular all of a sudden as the generic bad guy (See BloodRayne for an example). Fat's character in the movie was extremely cryptic, and a lot of the lines didn't make much sense.

Overall, the acting was good, and the story was alright. It may not be worth it to watch in the theaters, but it's alright if you rent it.

I saw the reviews of people who already saw it at www.movie-comics.com and overall, it dosen't sound that good, so I might avoid it

The only movie at the moment I want to see is Matrix: Reloaded
