While "The Master" (aka "Lung hang tin haa") is not the best of all the Jet Li movies, then it is a fairly entertaining movie in itself. The mixture of Asian and Western film-making isn't something that speaks to just everyone. I wonder if Jackie Chan took influence from this movie for the 1995 "Rumble in the Bronx" movie as there are so many similarities.
Personally, I found "The Master" to have a bit too much comedy, as it is not something that is usually associated with Jet Li movies. And the dialogue was also quite bad at times.
The action and martial arts was well-choreographed and executed, which was as expected. And this is what keeps the movie interesting.
If you enjoy Jet Li movies then there are far better movies available. But at least it should be seen once if you enjoy his movies and martial arts skills.
"The Master" is entertaining enough for what it is, but don't expect anything extraordinary.
