Trivialidades:

At the orphanage, Jessica's daughter is listed as "Isabel Kamen". Isabel is the real first name of the girl who played the daughter (Isabelle Duhauvelle), and Kamen is the last name of the film's writer, Robert Mark Kamen.

Errores:

Errores cometidos por los personajes (posiblemente errores deliberados por los cineastas): Bridget Fonda tells Jet Li that he has to sew up his bullet wound or it will get infected. In fact, (unless the patient is bleeding a lot) most soft tissue bullet wounds do best by simply cleaning them then allowing them to heal on their own. Sewing over a bullet wound unless you do a surgical scrub/washout is asking for a serious infection.

Citas:

Richard: There is a time for diplomacy and a time for action. Diplomacy is dead.

Bruce Lee nostalgia

I was hoping this movie to be better than 'Romeo Must Die' and I was not disappointed. I truly believe this is Jet Li's English coming out movie (too bad it was released in the summer when other bigger movies come out).

I did not go to see the movie for the story line and those who don't won't be disappointed either. The action was great especially the final scenes. Bridget Fonda did not do much (found her irritating in some scenes) but then again, did not watch the movie because she was there.

Believable, maybe not ... Jet Li as the new Bruce Lee, most definitely!

8/10
