Synopsis:
A Tibetan Monk (Chow Yun-Fat) is the protector of an ancient scroll that holds the key to unlimited power. He has been pursued for 60 years by Nazis, trying to get the scroll for their own evil purposes. The monk encounters a young pickpocket, Kar (Sean William Scott) whom he begins training as the next protector of the scroll. Together, they must keep the scroll from falling into the hands of the evil Nazi, Strucker (Karel Roden).
Review:
Why is it that just about every martial arts movie these days has to make every fight scene look like a cross between The Matrix and Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon. This wasn't a bad movie. I liked the plot and the action, I just don't like all of the special effects they doctor up the fight scenes with.
My Rating:
6/10
