Jet Li Action Classic and unfortunately
one of the last fims with the lovely Bridget
Fonda. Is this Jet Li's most violent film ?
Jet Li plays Chinese top agent Liu Jian on a mission in Paris where
he's about to
assist a French crime inspector Richard (Tchéky Karyo) and his
crew in a stake-out
at a hotel. The mission goes wrong with many killed and evil Richard
has planned
that Jet Li's agent would be blamed for the ....Theft? (I can't remember
what Richard
stole). Bridget Fonda is at the crime scene too and is later chased
with Jet Li.
Tchéky Karyo
plays the corrupt and evil cop Richard, and he really can play a bad
guy. He's scary and I remember him in a fine 1980's French action thriller
"La Balance"
where he played a criminal, Petrovic, who really scared me.
If he uses the Metro he's that guy sitting alone in a crowded train
with empty seats
around him. He should also Not wear a sign saying Bad Guy, as it isn't
needed.
