This is a good fun Jet Li movie with good
action.
Any Jet Li fan would enjoy this.

The only part of this movie that sucked was
every scene with DMX. His acting Really sucks
and he couldn't act his way out of a paper bag.

If you can get past DMX's acting, you should
enjoy this movie.

I felt the need to write a review to counter all the negative ones. I found this movie completely fun and entertaining. Great for light entertainment.

dmx knows his tired rap act is through,so now hes trying to spread his tired image into movies.is it any wonder his movies(AND EVERY MOVIE OF THIS KIND)barely make it to see a second weekend?the saving grace here is jet li(a minimal save).jet li is also in a massive decline and proved that action also needs acting/believable plot.every rapper acts the same way,they are interchangable/easily forgotten.since i rented this,im not so upset.can you imagine how the crowd was during and after movie?rowdy and uncontrollable as if they were on prison leave.to some extent,you can tell the charactor of a person by what entertains them.im pretty sure the males in the audience couldnt wait to be dmx tough and start some nonsense.we all know how tough guys are....tough from a distance and only with alot of backup.typical and pitifull.any monkey can direct movies this horrible,but how can people actually rush to see this?so very sad...............................

Only saw this movie because I'm a Jet Li fan. This is definately not one of his best movies, probably because he is redelegated to the role of sidekick. Some fights were decent but story wasn't very intertaining. DMX is only good at playing one role-gangbanger. Maybe he should stick to his day job.

Apart from the Kill Bill volume 1&2 and The Matrix 1&2 Hollywood make rubbish martial arts films.
This is no different than Exit Wounds or the equally dire Romeo Must Die. The fundamental problem is making hiphop themed martial arts films is a big mistake! In these films you have good old Anthony Anderson, Tom Arnold as crap comic relief, an oiled DMX and his stage school homeboys trying to act tough . Last but not least you have a bemused Jet Li on wires, thinking to himself ''silly westerners you have missed the point of martial arts''.
Still you do get major league honeys in this type of film!

I only saw this because of Jet Li. I'm disappointed that he doesn't get his own movies. This was an alright film, but Jet wasn't at him best, thus the 2 star rating.

Tell me a film that doesn't have a generic plot these days. Exactly who is paying attention to the plot when you've got the gorgeous Jet Li & DMX to eye up? (And lets throw in Gabrielle Union and Kelly Hu for the guys out there) So the plot's been done before, it's still interesting!

This film is kinda special to me, I won't explain why here, it's kinda dorky, but what I will say is that I'm glad to have it on DVD, so I can watch it again, and relive certain things!

There are some great actors in this - alongside DMX and Jet Li, Gabrielle Union departs from her usual teen rom com roles, and gets to really sink her teeth into a decent role (along with DMX!) Tom Arnold adds the comedy to the film, and Anthony Anderson plays Tommy, who is so funny - especially when he's trying to be camp!

Jet Li is great (and cute) in all his films. Most of the film he seemed to stroll along with his hand in his pocket, and seemed to (casually, as if it was no big deal) attack the bad guys. And the worried look on his face when he's faced with a lot of bad guys - no problemo, he just takes his hand out his pocket!

What the black diamonds/stones storyline did seem to fall to the side quite a bit throughout the film, concentrating most of the time on DMX's little daughter in the movie, who acts [good]!

There's a very funny scene, which plays underneath the credits. Tom Arnold (Archie) and Anthony Anderson (Tommy) are talking about making a film about what they've just experienced, and who's going to play them etc. It's so funny, as they come out with these outrageous suggestions!

What's great about this movie, is the very rare use of guns. None of the "good guys" use them, they prefer to use their hands/feet to attack the bad guys. So many films these days really overuse guns, and it gets tiresome after a while, so it's great to see a film that tosses guns to one side.

This film is great, and you'll be left with an adrenaline rush afterwards. You will be punching and kicking in your seat!

This movie was just ok because the the movie is action packed. The reason i gave this movie three stars is that when gabrielle union was getting undressed they didn't show the t*tt*es which was a dissapointment since this movie is rated R. Anyway this movie is still good

AN AGENT [JET LI] AND A THIEF [DMX] TRY TO KEEP SOME DIAMONDS FROM FALLING INTO THE HANDS OF A CRIME KINGPIN [MARK DECASCOS]. WELL, I'LL ADMIT IT, I'M NOT REALLY A BIG FAN OF JET LI. BUT, THIS MOVIE WAS AT LEAST MODERATELY ENTERTAINING. THE MOVIE DOES AT LEAST HAVE A FEW GOOD FIGHT SEQUENCES AND IT DOES HAVE SOME FUNNY MOMENTS. SURE, THIS AIN'T NO MARTIAL ARTS EPIC, BUT I GUESS IT'D DO FOR MARTIAL ARTS ADDICTS.

I cheated.I did not rent or buy the DVD or VHS but instead saw C2G on Cinemax this past Saturday night and I am so glad.This movie was trash.Someone said somewhere that it was a generic plot that had been done before,but I think that was overly generous,C2G reminded me of some of the no name actor action adventure flicks I watched on Saturday afternoon on TV as a kid,except they were better done.The plot was not even close to being believeable,which in and of itself would not have been fatal,but it then it tried to make up for it by way too much action done by horrible acting.I have never heard of the majority of the cast,with the exception of Kelly Hu and Tom Arnold,and I can see why,none of them can act.They brought little life to one dimensional stock characters and they should profusely thank Anthony Anderson and Tom Arnold for bringing a welcome comedic element which made the film a little bearable.Special disses go out to Jet Li and Kelly Hu.Jet,you're not an actor.You delivered your lines with about as much passion as someone reciting a weather report.The closest I recommend you get to a camera is selling them in Hong Kong.Kelly,you can't act either.I think the one dimensionality of the characters and the the poor acting were demonstrated in rather exmeplary fashion by your portrayal of Sona.I have seen you in films and TV series over the years,and while I'll freely admit you are beautiful,you should go back to modeling and selling cream cheese.Your acting skills have not improved as demonstrated by the roles you get,and now you are about my age (36) so your career is just about over anyway.Sorry,spoiler alert,but Kelly's best scene was when she was killed at the end when she had the contents of a MAC 10 emptied into her by her own hand.BTW,Kelly,the outfit they had you wear at the warehouse made you look more chubby than slinky and made your butt look big,so if if you are noshing on Philly Cream Cheese between takes take some advice and stay away from it.Ok,just so no one thinks I'm a Kelly Hu hater,I'll say the same thing for Gabrielle Union,very pretty but no acting ability,looks are good but you need some talent too.If you just like action adventure and don't care about plot or believeability,watch it.But after I finished watching I felt like screaming that I wanted my hour and 45 minutes of my life back,so you were warned.
