The concept was well thought out, but the delivery left something to be desired. I liked the history of where it all came from, but then to dump it to 2 "kids" to hold this for the future?

He is one of my favorite actors of all time. He has that DeNiro quality where he speaks to you with his eyes. The language barrier means nothing with that man. That being said...........DeNiro still did Showtime, which is a guilty pleasure of mine.........so as Chow Yun Fat did make a "bad" here, I have to agree with you, as lame as Bulletproof Monk was, and the strange casting of Sean William Scott, it was still enjoyable. Kinda dumb, but enjoyable. I will watch ANYTHING with Chow Yun Fat. He is one of my favorite actors of all time. He has that DeNiro quality where he speaks to you with his eyes.

Why he reemerged and did Dragoball is beyond me, but hes back to doing overseas movies so at least he's aware of his downfall and is returning to form.

It made me feel sad seeing him in this movie. He has been so brilliant in so many Asian films. It seems like fantastic actors that are huge in other countries get wooed by Hollywood, but inevitably are put in the worse crap they are completely unsuited for. There are a couple relatively fun high-energy action scenes, but Sean William Scott as Chow Yun Fat's successor? Please! That is so wrong! So terribly wrong!
