Volunteer reviewer needed for this movie — Request this assignment  Negative - My husband my I went to see this movie the very first night it came out. It was our anniversary! My husband is a huge Jet Li fan, so I agreed . As the film started, there was the F-** word, and the m-f word and it continued right through out the movie. There were sex scenes that was unnecessary. There was killing with blood that was truly gut wrentching. This movie depicted Japanese as gang memebers all with evil motives. I should have follwed my gut and walked out. I was so uncomfortable. As a christian we need to be able to make moral choices and watching this film you would feel the need to repent.This is clearly not a family film. This could have been a good movie minus the language, sex and killing. Story line was ok. Neutral - I saw this movie with my boyfriend. He loves action movies. This movie definitely had a lot of action, however if you think that the movie is going to amaze you with martial arts and Jet Li's presence, you're wrong. Jet Li really has no important dialogue. Aside from all the violence, the story line is interesting and you have to pay attention, yet the gross twists will make you almost chuckle to yourself thinking 'who comes up with this stuff?!' There wasn't too much sexuality/nudity. only a pointless scene where a woman undresses in front of Jet Li wearing only a thong. That was a little more uncomfortable to watch than the sex scence with prostitutes in the underground club (beginning of film). This is not a movie for anyone under 18 years old. Overall, it was ok. I am a true movie critic and this movie just didnt play out like it shouldve! C- overall Negative - I didn't finish this movie because it was quite offensive. Not too long after it began there was a scene of an underground gang hideout where sex and gambling were being glorified! There was also unnecessary violence, including a scene where a man's ear is cut off and it fell to the ground, and many other scenes with bloody killing. Both the good guys and bad guys were ruthless. However, I couldn't take anymore when a woman undressed herself infront of Jet Li for no reason at all. I felt disgusted. Christians should stay away from this one, it doesn't have much more than sex and much violence to offer. |
