Jet Li, who does not act in kung fu films

The Chinese road to Hollywood doesn't always seem to be smooth sailing. Jackie Chan's change is not small, Jet Li is even bigger. Although this film can still be regarded as an action film, it is definitely not an action film of Jet Li, and his unique athletic skills have almost disappeared. And for an action movie without any brilliant action, its weakness in plot is suddenly exposed to the public.
In fact, the identity of the Ranger is a bright spot. When the truth was finally revealed, I really applauded a little, but these good feelings stopped as soon as the subtitles appeared. The ending was a mess, and the director set up such a character relationship, but it didn't develop at all. This "you're dead, I'm gone, this story is over." way of ending gives a feeling of being fooled. The director seems to be trying to show "good guys, bad guys, what I say".
In the movie, English, Japanese, Mandarin and Cantonese are mixed, but it does not give people much sense of reality. In terms of actors, Jet Li, who has no kung fu, is basically nothing to watch, and Jason Statham is still a violent policeman with nothing new. It feels good that Zunlong is back in Hollywood, and his English is much more fluent than Jet Li. Zheng Haonan's appearance suddenly brought him into the distance of the movie, making people feel intimate. Maybe he has never seen or heard him act in Hollywood movies, so he has a more intimate feeling than Jet Li. Devon Aoki isn't my type, but it's prettier than in Sin City.
