Jet Li was simply amazing in Lethal Weapon 4; in this film he completely
kicks ass and takes names. This movie has some of the best martial arts
combat I have ever seen. It was simply astounding. Produced by Tsui Hark,
this film was made in Hong Kong and then dubbed for american release. The
result is that the audience was very uncomfortable with the dubbing in places.
But aside from that, the film was perfect. Perfectly amazing. Extremly
violent and action-packed, with moves I've never seen before. The plot?
Genetically enhanced super-soldiers are hiding from the government and
preparing the hold the government hostage by hijacking critical data. And
our hero, an ex-super-soldier turned librarian, is played by Jet Li. Ching
Wan Lau also gave an excellent performance as the hero's friend and local
cop; look for him in future films. |
