This was a seriously disappointing movie, no matter what you were looking for. If you were looking for great fight scenes, you'll find only badly framed, poorly choreographed flailing, with seemingly no one actually in any danger of getting hurt by any of the strikes. If you're looking for a spy flick, turn off the movie after the initial opening sequence of Tony trying to be Mr. Gadget; it goes downhill from there. If you're looking for humor, you'll find your self laughing only at the horrific dialog. Jingle Ma wants to be hip so badly, he winds up hurting the audience. Superfluous quick cuts, one 'zany' weapon, and lots of contrived, super-slow chase scenes make for a terrible movie. Kelly Chen is absolutely detestable as the simpering, useless heroine, given to spouting what sounds like the lyrics to bad love songs. Tong Leung is not smooth, slick, charismatic, likeable, or anything else one might wish for in a lead actor. Hiroshi Abe tries desperately to be menacing, but, instead, comes across as a loopy loser with a really bad case of the flu. My only sympathy was for Ekin Cheng, who seemed like he might have actually not sucked, had Jingle given him half a chance, which he didn't. Don't be fooled by the box, folks. This movie is lame. I only gave it a rating of 2 because I spent so long laughing at Kelly Chen's dialog.
