Not a great action-thriller (one of many of the East meets West team-up pictures of the late 90s/early aughts) but has its moments and liked the pairing of Chow Yun-fat and Bridget Fonda. Still relatively entertaining though apparently highly edited by the studio removing much of the romance between Yun-Fat and Fonda, with only little bits of dialogue left over. **3.25/5**
