Negative Positive
Title: Film quality prevented the movie from reaching potential
Review: In post-WWII China returning Chinese soldiers are met by overbearing American G.I.'s. One of the local soldiers (Jet Li) runs into trouble with an American captain. Fans of Jet Li's 'Once Upon a Time in China'and 'Fong Sai Yuk' series should be aware that this movie contains no "wire fu". Fights between Li and Kurt Roland Pettersson (European Boxing Champion) and Paulo H.P. Tocha (kick boxing Champion), which would have been entertaining are unfortunately marred by poor lighting and become hard to follow. I would have liked to see Li's wushu pitted against conventional boxing and kick boxing but the scenes are so dark that the images become blurs. New fans of Jet Li's recent movies and the fight scenes in 'The Matrix' should try the above 2 series as well as 'Shaolin Temple'and Donnie Yan's 'Iron Monkey'.
