A corrupt businessman commits a murder and the only witness is the girlfriend of another businessman with close connections to the Chinese government, so a bodyguard from Beijing is dispatched to help two Hong Kong cops protect the witness.<br/><br/>There is not much to this film that anyone with common sense couldn&#39;t figure out. The romantic angle, the plot twists… this is a very by-the-numbers story. But while that may not make for a great script, it makes the film fun to follow.<br/><br/>And the comedy relief is not bad. The overweight bodyguard is rather amusing. This is amplified by the English dubbing, which seems to make him even more of a clown than the original language (Cantonese?). As muchI prefer subtitles to dubbing, it works great this time. This is a surprisingly great Jet Li film, i was pleasantly surprised, it had a cool story and an awesome fight at the end!. All the characters are great, and very likable!, plus Jet Li is simply amazing in this!.Jet and Christy Chung had awesome chemistry together, and the story is constantly interesting, plus it also had a few cool action sceneswell!. The opening is really cool, however the ending confused the hell out of me, that being said it was still pretty cool, and very emotional, andi said the final fight was just fantastic!, plus The dubbing wasn&#39;t too bad in my opinion!. At 1st i found Christy Chung&#39;s character to be selfish and annoying, however she soon became likable, and the fight choreography was excellent!, plus Jet had a really cool character!. Some of the dialog was bad, but quite amusing at the same time, and i find this film to be quite underrated!, plus i though Jet&#39;s acting was fantastic!. This is a surprisingly great Jet Li Film, i was pleasantly surprised, it had a cool story and an awesome fight scene at the end, i highly recommend this one!. The Direction is very good. Corey Yuen and Kazuya Konaka do a very good job here, with great camera work, awesome angles, and keeping the film at a very fast pace!. The Acting is great.Jet Li is amazingalways, and is amazing here, he is very likable intense, had a very cool character, had awesome chemistry with Christy Chung, kicked that ass, had some decent dubbing, and was especially good at the end! (Jet Rules!!!!).Christy Chung is gorgeous, and does fine with what she had to do, she was a little annoying at 1st but soon became likable, and had awesome chemistry with Jet, i liked her. Kent Cheng did what he had to do well i liked him lots. Collin Chou is excellentthe main villain,he is a great martial artist, and was very menacing i liked him a lot.Wing-Chung Leung did what he had to do wellKen, and was rather likable. Wai-Kwok Ng is okayJames but didn&#39;t have much to do. William Chu is terriblethe kid, and was annoying to boot. Rest of the cast do okay. Overall i highly recommend this one!. ***1/2 out of 5
