languishing inside (Shu Qi).

France, he's dodging heat-seeking missiles and performing hand to hand combat
with any number of goons and assorted tough guys
Critic Reviews:
- " Mainly succeeds in being unintentionally hilarious – which oddly
adds entertainment value the creators couldn't have planned for. " –
Mike Massie
- " More than a decade later, no action series has quite managed to
capture its blend of silky smooth action thanks to Statham's turn as the
debonair hero for the new generation. " –
Jeffrey Lyles
- " Pure popcorn pleasure for older teens and up. " –
