Top Critics' Reviews
Fresh: Li jumps into a series of martial arts sequences of flying fists and balletic moves that truly reinvigorate a genre that has gone stale even in Asia.
Rotten: [Jet Li] isn't dubbed in Kiss of the Dragon, but he's so removed from the proceedings that he might as well be.
Rotten: The characters in Kiss of the Dragon are more cardboard than usual for an action movie.
Fresh: It will separate hard-core Jet Li followers from the fair-weather fans.

One Of Jets Best
I would rank this movie in my top 15 favorite kungfu movies list. The movie starts with Jet Li who is a chinese agent who is sent to France to bust up a drug smuggling nightmare, when he arives on seen the French police try and frame him with a murder of a drug Lord and a prostatute. Jet hooks up with a different prostitute (like teams up not "hooks up") who is tryn to exscape the evil clutches of the Head chief of French police (by the end of the movie u hate this guy so much you wanna beat him down yourself) and get her daughter back who is bein held captive. The movie is full of great acting, fighting, and music with a great story line as well. Buy it you will not be disapointed.
Highly Recommended
Title says it all. If you like a martial arts movie that has Li Lianjie (A.K.A. Jet Li) in it, flawless acting and a genius storyline, this movie is for you!
Four Stars, baby.
This is a really good movie. If itunes wants to make more money by having people actually watch the movies they have available... they need to do away with the rotten tomatoes critics because they most often dont know what they are thinking, but who doesn't know this?
This was a fun and exciting movie. However, hopefully you will realize after watching it that there is more to it than a bunch of action. I found there to be an actual element of depth to it. When there is an emotional element to a movie.... even an action movie that was meant to be purely fun to watch, it makes the movie so much better to enjoy.
