Cynthia Rothrock is a phenomenal martial-arts dynamo (although in some scenes she is stupidly replaced by a male stunt man), and Yuen Biao is....well, Yuen Biao, if you've seen him in even one Jackie Chan movie you already know what he can do. The sheer action involving these two almost redeems the rest of the movie. ALMOST. As film-making, it's sloppy and confusing and just plain bad. Plus, the downbeat ending leaves a bad taste in your mouth and kills any fun the viewer might have had until then. (**)
