warn represent may contain some spoiler . i do not think i have ever go to a chop socki movie and expect to see the next titanic or the next american beauty . i do not want to see a multi layer and subtle film that have lot of plot twist and turn and character that surprise me . what i do want to see be a bunch of guy beat the snot out each other and do thing that they should not be able to do . i love all the great in regard to this type of film . from guy like chuck norris and bruce lee and steven seagal and some jcvd and jeff speakman ( anyone ever see the perfect weapon . ) and jackie chan and of course jet li . i have see every film of jet release in north america and every film he amaze me with what he can do . i do not really see the difference between a film like crouch tiger and kiss of the dragon . they be both fun and entertain film to watch but they be not by any mean worthy of oscar consideration . but then again and you be talk about a bunch of fossil who think shakespeare in love be good than save private ryan . kod be nothing but a pure adrenaline rush . bridget fonda be along for the ride and so be the guy from bad boy and the patriot ( tcheky karyo ) and but all you really need be jet li and you have yourself a great action film . but perhaps what separate this film from some of the other martial art film if that in most fight movie and the action sequence be good and really good and but kod take some of the fight a step far . i be amaze at some of the choreography displayed . not just by jet but by some of his opponent . it be thrill to see a small man fight two big men and watch them fall . that be exactly what happen when jet meet two massive blond twin school in martial art . a they say and the big they be and the harder they fall . and that be true in this case and but not before jet take a good beating . the plot and well and who really care and but jet li get mixed up in some french plot to smuggle heroine and he have to stop the perpetrator . a i say and the plot be really not the core of the film and even though it be write by luc besson . all you really need to know be that if you enjoy this kind of action and then this be one film that you can not pass up . it will please even the most skeptical critic . one particularly amusing scene be when jet walk into a police station to go after the bad guy . he open one door to try to escape and buy himself some time and it be there that he find a room full of black belt practise their karate . jet take his jacket off and invite all of them to bring it on . this remind me of a funny scene in wayne world when wayne and garth open a door and behind it there be a bunch of spy do a bunch of spy thing like climb wall and fight . they close the door and say something to the effect of i always want to see that . well in this film and it isn not so much a joke a it be a reality . it be one of the most impressive fight sequence i have ever see in any film and with all due respect to bruce lee . kod be not a martin scorsese film and nor be it a film by coppola or truffaut or fellinni . it be a film by chris nahon that star jet li . i couldn not tell you what nahon have do before this and to be honest i really do not care all that much . if he continue to make film like this and with a flair for the ridiculous and an eye for action and then i think he will be around for a while . but what i can tell you be that li be the best at what he do . and this be one kick as action film . there be not much to dislike about it and unless you do not like violence and then i would recommend you stay away . but if action and chop socki and deceit and betrayal be what you crave and then go see kod . 8 . 5 out of 10 some excellent action and fighting scene make this one a great summer flick .
