The fight scenes are routine, the humor juvenile, and the Toronto locales rendered drab through muddy cinematography.

They made a ton of junky movies in Hong Kong, but those were dazzlingly fluid and high-flying junky movies. This American retread has the same sort of hack plot but none of the bravura.

[T]he thing about the martial arts sequences -- you've got the great Chow Yun-Fat, but this thing is directed MTV style: cut here, cut there, close-up. So we can't really tell if he's doing stunts or if it's all tricks of camerawork.

One of those motley movies that borrows from just about everywhere.

Everything here is borrowed from other movies ...
