Because of this I'll give 6


If this stuff below would be more reasonable in the movie, I myself would give iat an 9...

Is this movie made for people who are stupid or just dont give a *beep*
Because I pretty much couldnt stand the way people were acting. (Not acting like actors acting)

I have so far seen it half way trought and I have to say this:

The direction and writing sucks at "rational" stuff.

First of all, Chinese people speak english to Chinese people and French people speak english to French people. I found that weird, because they could have used subtitles in those parts like everyone else does.

Then, most the baddies in this movie seem to be police, but apparently dont give a *beep* about what direction or who they are shooting. Apparently they are not afraid of shooting bypassers. And the main police baddie has this far shot seven cops and two civilians. Shouldnt they have been arrested or stopped at this point by the French police?

Even if I were a "bad" cop, I wouldnt just shoot at a guy running on a wooden roof of an boat full of civilians.

The action is great but the lack of intelligence is... Bothersome.

Kind of get what you mean but the idea is the entire police force are in the loop and currupt, there was no-one to arrest the police chief, all he did was blame the deaths on Jet Li's character, all of the other police would back him up and that would be that, as you see in one part of the film even the coroner is in on it, if he was being bribed all he would have to do is file reports saying they were killed by bullets from Jet Li's gun etc etc.
