Li jumps into a series of martial arts sequences of flying fists and balletic moves that truly reinvigorate a genre that has gone stale even in Asia.

Kiss of the Dragon offers just about a kill a minute, but less than a thrill a minute.
Stephen Hunter, Washington Post
Rotten
Kiss of the Dragon does have a sense of its own absurdity, but that doesn't prevent it from cloaking the inherently comic kung-fu genre in a seriousness so solemn that it could be French.
Mark Jenkins, Washington Post
