After his partner is brutally murdered by the infamous assassin Rogue (Jet Li), FBI agent Jack Crawford (Jason Statham) vows to find the elusive killer and personally avenge his partner's death. But Rogue proves untraceable until three years later when he resurfaces to ignite a bloody turf war between Chinese mob leader Chang and Japanese Yakuza boss Shiro. Eager to capture Rogue once and for all, Crawford leads his team of crime specialists headlong into the conflict. But Crawford's thirst for vengeance jeopardises his professional judgement, and as the violence escalates, Crawford finally comes face to face with his enemy to discover that nothing about Rogue or his plan is quite what is seems.

I like this movie. It may be a little bit too long, but the combination of Statham and Li is simply excellent. Maybe if there was a little bit more of Jet, it would be even better. The final twist is a bit bizarre, but it has the right B-movie style. There isn't as much action here, but I still formed some kind of connection with the movie. Good entertainment for me.

What the hell was that? Boring, almost no action, a twist which I admit had not expected at all, then an action scene which is short and almost criminally unexploited, an unexpected revelation and the end. The presence of two contemporary action icons and the attractive environment of San Francisco simply couldn’t hide the bad screenplay and pitiful direction. And I was sooo looking forward to this. :(

A straightforward action flick that is about nothing more than shooting, kicking, punching, bleeding and dying for an hour and forty minutes, all performed by Jason Statham, Jet Li and dozens of future dead that these two gradually take down. It's not a deep film, it could have been shorter and less would-be surprising, but it's definitely watchable and the action scenes (there are not a lot, but in fact too many) are fine, thanks to the good music of the reliable Brian Tyler.
