A plodding, play-it-safe rendition of The Family Feud.

Tom Maurstad Dallas Morning News (Top Critic)

When there isn't a fight or a car chase going on, there's nothing worth watching to fill the time.

This hip-hop Romeo and Juliet is awful.

The point of the film is kung fu. But, sadly, it doesn't deliver.

It's unfortunate that so much of the running time has been given over to the plodding plot about a war between two gangs...

Jet Li deserves better than this.

slick, Joel Silver-produced action movie with a borderline straight to video feel.

Guess what, kids! Your average Jet Li film is a LOT better than your average Jackie Chan film.

A nifty little package that should allow Jet Li to get a solid hold on American actioners.

It's not Shakespeare a la Kenneth Branagh, but it's not bad either.

What impresses me about this film is its consistency in terms of characterization.

Our star-crossed lovers are so emotionally off-channel, it's easy to forget the origin of the film's title...

The director gets carried away with his quick-cutting technique, to the point that it interferes with the viewer's ability to appreciate the fantastic choreography.

Way too much time is spent exposing the boring, conventional plot, with all its predictable twists and double-crossings.

Straight-ahead action would have been more than sufficient.

It's funny and violent and occasionally quite entertaining, even if there's not a single convincing moment.

A little more action and a little less talk would have taken things much further.

The movie barely manages to keep you awake, much less quicken your pulse.

The main problem with the movie...is the story: it's very weak, and seems to exist mainly as a vehicle to attach all the fight scenes in a string.

It's kind of dumb to hire a top-notch martial artist and then so fragment his action scenes that it could be anyone in there amidst the rapid-fire images of flying fists and feet.
