a very underrated gem!!
this is a very underrated movie, alot of people are complaining about the plot, well the plot isn't THAT confusing in fact it really doesn't bring down the movie at all. The best part is the action, plemty of action in exposions and chases and fights, it has some of the best explosions you will ever see in any movie. Avoid what other reviewers say and get this movie IF YOU LIKE ACTION.

Bleah.
Luci Lue is beautiful, but not a great action flick star she barely spoke and her facial expression was froze. Constantly staring into the camera as if to ask, "Why am I starring in this flabby hunk of whale poopy?" She looks great in her outfit. That is the only plus.

Antonio Banderas looks like he crawled out of the sewer. I never really have cared for his movies, so maybe I'm a little biased. He was just taking up space in this movie.

The movie itself, the special effects were run of the mill. Nothing to extravigant, maybe a couple of cool stunts. The non-stop music was so annoying. Action sequences were blood-free for a rated R movie. No plot and no hope it hell. What a flop.

A barrel of laughs
This B-movie doesn't make a lick of sense of course, which was fine with me. They set the movie in Vancouver, BC without even bothering to pretend it's an American city, and then center the plot on two competing American agencies. So right away you see what caliber of writing we're dealing with.

There are a couple of good action scenes that are fun. Really, the only reason these kinds of pseudo-Hong Kong movies get made is to show off a director's technical expertise in filming overly stylized action sequences. The rest of the movie is then built around these three or four scenes.

But the director couldn't make Lucy Liu look like much of a martial artist. She comes across as so choreographed and physically incapable that it, was pricelss when Antonio Banderas delivered lines like -- "Obviously a professional, without emotion."

A fun way to kill time.
