The movie's plot focuses on two factors: stolen black diamonds which (sorry to spoil this) turn out to be a form of plutonium that is radioactive enough to power a laser show and DMX's cute little daughter who gets kidnapped.
I find Jet Li charming as the mostly calm, reserved characters he always seems to play but be warned anytime Li is facing the opposition, rest assured the bodies will be flying and I do love to watch him whoop some butt especially when he battles his nemesis, played by Mark Dacascos and there was this scene where Li takes on fifteen or more kick boxers in an illegal fighting circuit! I must admit the man could beat anyone up and make it look as if he never lifted a finger.
Gabrielle Union and Kelly Hu were nice leading ladies, while Anthony Anderson and Tom Arnold are a great comedic duo of comic relief.
If you're a fan of Jet Li movies and enjoy martial arts fights between all the characters, explosions, car chases involving a Porsche, Thunderbird, an ATV and the police, with a killer sound track blaring in the background then give this one a try.
