Editorial Review: TRANSPORTER 2: A former Special Forces agent Frank (Jason Statham) now works as a driver for a family in Miami. But when their young son is kidnapped Frank will stop at nothing to find the criminals who are holding the boy for ransom and to get him back. This high-action adventure is directed by Louis Leterrier and written by Luc Besson.KISS OF THE DRAGON: The writers of THE FIFTH ELEMENT Luc Besson (who also directed the Bruce Willis film) and Robert Mark Kamen have teamed up again to deliver Jet Li in the action thriller KISS OF THE DRAGON. Li stars as Liu Jiuan a Chinese agent so dedicated to his job that he has no friends no family no dreams. He is sent to Paris to help the French police capture a Chinese gangster but France's top cop Jeanne-Pierre Richard (Tcheky Karyo) has set Liu up to take the fall for a brutal killing he himself carried out. On the run in a strange city Liu keeps a low profile until he unwillingly becomes friends with an American hooker Jessica (Bridget Fonda)--who just happens to hold the key to his innocence. But Richard is always one step ahead of them--he has Jessica's daughter. Li and Fonda make a great team; their relationship is at the core of the film as neither character has ever been able to put his complete trust in another person before. The action scenes directed by Corey Yuen are fast and furious and very violent featuring mesmerizing moves by Li especially one involving a billiard ball. Chris Nahon in his directorial debut makes excellent use of the location including numerous shots of famous Parisian landmarks as the bad cops try to machine-gun down Liu in the streets and sewers and on the Seine.Format: DVD MOVIE Genre: ACTION/ADVENTURE Rating: R UPC: 024543230854 Manufacturer No: 2233085 |
