The plot is a bit obvious in many ways. But it moves quickly and contains some wonderful martial arts scenes.
Michelle Yeoh interests me very much as an actress. and I was interested in her acting in this film. I realized, watching it, who she reminds me of. Toshiro Mifune. Both were supreme physical actors.
There is also a small comedy bit involving attempts to subdue an insane Jet Li. A fan once wrote that she was not really good at comedy. She has not been given many chances to play pure comedy, but scenes like this one (there is another example in Holy Weapon) prove she is a natural at comedy.
