i expect most of these hong kong martial art film to be pack with action but most feature either a little humor ( jackie chan ) or beautiful scenery ( hero and etc . ) or wild special effect ( crouch tiger and hidden dragon and more ) . but this one feature a mean edge . i be not use to see these asian film with a lot of profanity ( mainly f word ) or bloody scene almost to the point of be gross and which one scene be in here . the hero be likable guy play by jet li . despite his martial art penchant for violence and he have a soft and boyish look to him and doesn not seem to fit the type . he always the gentleman in here and with no profanity either . the villain and lead by tchecky karyo and be brutal . bridget fonda and play a hooker and at least wasn not some pretty woman type figure . she be rough and too and but at least realistic and i give her credit for not worry about how she look in here and beauty wise . i do not regret see this film . it be entertain and but beware represent it a rough movie .
