Trivia:
The golf scene is filmed on the same golf course where Bob Barker beat up Happy Gilmore in the film Happy Gilmore (1996). more
Goofs:
Incorrectly regarded as goofs: When entering the garage, Han deactivates the car alarm to find the car (light goes on). Immediately after that the main character triggers the alarm again (lights again). In cheap alarms, this might reactivate the alarm, but in other models, this unlocks the passenger door (and a third activation might open the trunk). Since he in fact entered through the passenger door, this is what happened. more
Quotes:
Trish: [Han has just sneaked into her room] Are you out of your mind? What are you doing here?

Trish: You missed me? I'm gonna miss you when my father finds out you're here.

Enjoyable enough, 20 June 2003
7/10
Author: henry-girling from London, England

There seems to be several films in this one. A story about corruption and property deals, a story about fathers and their children, a tentative Romeo and Juliet romance and of course martial arts and guns. The actors acquit themselves well. One hoped for more of Michael Wong and less of Anthony Anderson (his constant 'Dim Sum' refrain being quite irritating) but the actors act, the plot moves and the film is enjoyable enough.

Jet Li is as usual very watchable and apart from his skill at martial arts (quick and effective but always graceful) he acts OK. His cab scene with Aaliyah is charming and funny and one wanted more of that but their relationship is underdeveloped in the script. It is a pity as Aaliyah is luminous and sassy. Her untimely death in real life was a tragedy.

Not as good as 'Kiss of the Dragon' but better than 'The One' and 'Cradle 2 the Grave' but inferior to Jet Li's Hong Kong movies.
