Not Jet Li's best, but a great introductory role. His charisma is evident even here, and his fighting is impressive for such a youngster. The plot is weak, but other than that everything works quite well. The cinematography could've been better, but its passable; and the fighting is great.
The training sequences are very enjoyable, and all the fighters are quite skilled. I found the choreography to be passable, and the humor quite funny.
There is a bizare amount of cruelty to animals, be it dogs, frogs or sheep. No disclaimer either, so one wonders if they used real animals. Nasty villians, heroic heroes, good old school fighting. 7/10
