Customer Ratings & Reviews

Jet Li, Michelle Yeoh, and especially Johnny Chin Siu Ho are all very good in director/choreographer Yuen Wo-Ping's sweeping story of best friends who become arch enemies. Driven mad by his ambitious friend's treachery, Li develops Tai Chi Chuan, a "soft" martial art - to Kung Fu as judo is to karate in a way. Unfortunately the nuances of this form are overshadowed by extensive use of wires as people fly around like superheroes. There are certainly some memorable fights, such as Li and Chin battling on a log tower with Yeoh in peril on its top. Generally I prefer more grounded martial arts. But as they say, love it or regret it, you probably won't forget it. 3 1/2 stars out of 5.

A very fun film with Jet Li. The fight scenes are good and over the top. The story is a morality tale about a man overcoming the loss of a friend and finding meaning in his life. This film also stars Michelle Yeoh.

This was a different and refreshing storyline that I enjoyed very much. The price was right for a movie of such quality.
