Black Mask
There's actually a plot in this movie somewhere, but you won't really care. The whole thing is tied together by so much bloodshed, violence, and flat-out ass-whupping that the plot becomes tertiary to watching the action. The stunts are incredible--you won't be able to figure out how they did half of it, even knowing the obvious wire tricks and the like. It's obvious Li and others are on a wire. It's obvious that the film is being sped up to a breakneck pace at times. The film is also dubbed, although it's dubbed pretty well. None of this matters.
Ultimately, what does matter is that Jet Li kicks butt.
What's Good: Jet Li, fight scenes, explosions, quality kill, and Jet Li. What's Bad: The plot can be hard to follow--it assumes you know things you don't at times. Final Analysis: Who cares about plot? Bring on the next fight scene!
