Kiss Of the Dragon
He may not be as muscular as Bruce Lee or as funny as Jackie Chan,
but it sure is a blast to watch Jet Li kick the crêpe out of the bad
French dudes in this film. Shying away from the recent surge of
overstylized and computer-enhanced kung fu found in The Matrix and
Romeo Must Die, Li is left up to his equally stunning Earth-bound
abilities when he plays a Chinese cop set up by a supercorrupt French
policeman. The Patriot's Tchéky Karyo is the lawless man who's also
running prostitutes, drugs and a kidnapping ring (and has armies of
fools at his disposal for Li to beat down). Bridget Fonda is a
hooker-junkie who only wants to save her child. Or something like that.
But who cares, we want some action. And you won't be disappointed when
the hero uses everything from pool balls to chopsticks and a bracelet
full of acupuncture needles as lethal weapons.
