Set on the stunning backdrop of Paris, The Kiss of the Dragon is non stop, classy martial arts action with Jet Li at his fabulous best. The picture is sharp and if you have surround sound, turn up the dial to get the best effect. ... Full Review

Great action + good characters + simple but not stupid plot = top entertainment. With a healthy budget and the guidance of co-writer/producer and Jet Lee fan Luc Besson, Kiss of the Dragon delivers right from the outset and doesn't stop until half of Paris has been destroyed and the streets are crowded with corpses. ...

The plot is relatively straightforward, so as not to distract from the incredible fight and chase sequences offered up by the fast and flexible Li. It has revenge, some great fighting and chase scenes. ... Full Review

Christian Spotlight on the Movie
Jet Li gives a good performance and there are lots of good action scenes! My Ratings: [Average / 3] Anonymous, age 17 This was a very entertaining film, but the sexuality at the beginning was not necessary. It was a great storyline though. ... Full Review

However, even in the action department this movie completely fails. Kiss of the Dragon" contains virtually no elements that make an action packed martial arts film enjoyable. Karyo's best lines often feature the location of where Li is moving. ... Full Review
