Kiss Of The Dragon movie stills
Reviews provided by RottenTomatoes
David Germain, Associated Press: Kiss of the Dragon has little of the balletic grace of better martial-arts flicks and none of the thoughtful restraint of these forms of combat. Read more
Terry Lawson, Detroit Free Press: Well-choreographed action set pieces. Read more
Charles Savage, Miami Herald: The Hollywood action genre, sliding into a lazy dependence on computer-generated fakery, needs this authentic kick to the head delivered by Jet Li. Read more
Robert K. Elder, Chicago Tribune: The characters in Kiss of the Dragon are more cardboard than usual for an action movie. Read more
Susan Stark, Detroit News: Conventional in all but the odd detail, such as that death-by-chopsticks bit, Kiss of the Dragon is an appallingly violent and bloody study of the predictable. Read more
Tom Maurstad, Dallas Morning News: Too choppy to develop emotional resonance. Read more
Elvis Mitchell, New York Times: Mr. Li will come out of Kiss of the Dragon smelling like a rose; the combat couldn't be better. But next time around, he should leave the script to more capable hands. Read more
Roger Moore, Orlando Sentinel: Despite his awesome brawling ability, Li has yet to demonstrate a persona that will make him worth watching in between fights. Read more
Melanie McFarland, Seattle Times: Fights are too few, interspersed with one of the longest, drowsiest stories ever to glue an action flick together. Read more
Geoff Pevere, Toronto Star: Practical, resourceful and unfussy. That's Jet Li, the Martha Stewart of martial arts mayhem. Read more
Bob Longino, Atlanta Journal-Constitution: If you dig this kind of movie, you're gonna love it. It's smartly edited, with sometimes breathtaking carnage. Read more
Kenneth Turan, Los Angeles Times: A hard-core action film for hard-core action junkies. Read more
Eric Harrison, Houston Chronicle: While the stunts are subdued, the gore, carnage and brutality are as over the top as Karyo's performance and role. Read more
Lisa Schwarzbaum, Entertainment Weekly: This is all grimy, guy on guy fun. Read more
Rick Groen, Globe and Mail: Like a merely semi-dishonest politician, like an only slightly overweight cop, the picture is a half-decent example of its kind. Read more
Gene Seymour, Newsday: And in the end, you still wish there were a story somewhere worthy of Li's dynamism and elegance. Read more
James Berardinelli, ReelViews: Whack! Thworp! Crack! Sometimes, it's fun to sit back and enjoy the spectacle of bad guys getting their heads beaten in. Read more
Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times: I like the movie on a simple physical level. There is no deeper meaning and no higher skill involved; just professional action, well-staged and filmed with a certain stylistic elegance. Read more
Charles Taylor, Salon.com: [Jet Li] isn't dubbed in Kiss of the Dragon, but he's so removed from the proceedings that he might as well be. Read more
Bob Graham, San Francisco Chronicle: It will separate hard-core Jet Li followers from the fair-weather fans. Read more
Mike Clark, USA Today: Seeing this movie won't get you into MIT, but it's passable fun and all wrapped up in 95 minutes -- a mere smooch compared to a lot of movies these days. Read more
Jessica Winter, Village Voice: [Fonda's] histrionic little-girl-lost performance is downright Jovovichian -- and as in Romeo Must Die, the leads barely touch. Read more
Stephen Hunter, Washington Post: Kiss of the Dragon offers just about a kill a minute, but less than a thrill a minute. Read more
Mark Jenkins, Washington Post: Kiss of the Dragon does have a sense of its own absurdity, but that doesn't prevent it from cloaking the inherently comic kung-fu genre in a seriousness so solemn that it could be French. Read more
