Movie Reviews of Kiss of the Dragon
Movie Review: Most EXCELLENT hand2hand battle vs. Government corruption
Summary: 5 Stars
This is my first Jet Li production [it was on TV sinfully edited, I couldn't watch it] and I am REALLY impressed !!! The ENERGY Jet Li put into this character is AWESOME !!! When it gets going ,,, you lose your breathe ,,, and start "praying" for him to find some solace [and give me a break] !!! Un-Believable !!!
I have purchased all of Steven Seagal AND I am definitely going to add "Jet Li" to my martial arts collection of "the little guy in our fight against government corruption" !!! This is A MOST EXCELLENT FILM !!!
P.S. No kissy, kissy dingbat chick-flick sissy stuff !!! This is a man's REALITY CHECK !!! And iluvit !!!
Summary of Kiss of the Dragon
Martial arts genius Jet Li explodes onto the screen with an intensity not seen since Bruce Lee. "Kiss of the Dragon" is not merely a thriller but a shocker. (San Francisco Chronicle) China's top secret agent visits Paris on a pleasure trip only to encounter government espionage at the highest level. "Li's action sequences are like an oil fire, spilling from one room into the next and lighing up in the interiors with heat and wreakage"! (The New York Times)Let's face it: No one is usually checking a Jet Li movie for the verbal sparring. In Kiss of the Dragon, Chinese undercover agent Li chops his way through Paris after he's framed in some sketchily defined drug sting operation. The fight sequences are tough and quite brutal, and the over-the-top finale is arguably worth the price of admission, wherein an implacable Li takes on the entire Paris Police Bureau, working his way up toward police chief Tch?ky Karyo's office through cops, a pair of peroxide-blond twin henchmen, and a whole class of kung fu cadets. Co-screenwriter Luc Besson (La Femme Nikita) should know by now what makes for a nifty genre piece, but the woeful dialogue is a shame, and there aren't nearly enough action sequences to get your blood boiling. Poor Bridget Fonda gives it the old school try in a thankless role as an ex-junkie prostitute from the Midwest whose young daughter is being held captive by duplicitous police chief/drug lord/pimp Karyo (who fairly inhales the scenery). Director Chris Nolan might have pushed further the strangers-in-a-strange-land camaraderie between Li and Fonda, but the script still would've sunk him. --Steve Wiecking
