      Panos Kotzathanasis Asian Movie Pulse In the end, what remains of The Master is if this one scene will justify the whole movie for anyone who watches it, because as a whole, it is definitely below average, not to mention an almost complete waste of Jet Lis talents.

      David W It's not Jet Li's best film and some of the acting is bit wonky but there's a lot of revenge martial arts genre fun to be had here and the final fight with Trimble is a corker. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/02/24 Full Review Audience Member Review: As I am running out of movies to rent, I thought that I would start to collect Jet Li movies, but this was a really bad start. I have seen some bad Kung Fu movies in my time, but this one is extremely awful. The storyline was completely ridiculous and the acting was poor. Jet Li isn't really known for his acting, but this is a bad attempt at humour and the annoying music throughout the film made it feel dated and a drag to watch. A lot of the scenes were really far fetched and the showdown with the long-haired baddie wasn't that great. Basically, this is complete rubbish and I haven't got a good word to say about it. Terrible! Round-Up: Jet Li is one of the fastest Kung Fu artist that I've seen but his acting skills haven't really been that great. When he stars in movies from his native country, he isn't that bad but when he crosses over, he's only really good when he isn't playing the leading role. He became a household name with movies like Lethal Weapon 4, Unleashed, The One and Romeo Must Die and with his recent role in the Expendable franchise he's becoming more popular, but he hasn't hit the stardom of someone like Bruce Lee or Jackie Change-up. Personally, I like the way that he fights but that about it.  I recommend this movie to people who are into there comedic action movies about a Kung Fu expert who visits his relative in America. 1/10 Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 01/18/23 Full Review Audience Member This movie does not care how absurd, horribly acted, or hilariously dubbed it is. All this movie cares about is entertaining you, and it does a lot of that. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/02/23 Full Review Audience Member I was suprised with this film looking at the cover i thought it was going to be serious but it turned out to be one of Jet Li's greatest fimls, it had me crying with laughter from the start with some awesome fight scenes, all on all a fantastic film well worth a watch. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 01/17/23 Full Review Audience Member Legendary Chinese Director Tsui Hark Teams With Jet Li In A Film Which Really Does Showcase Li's Skills. A Kung Fu Champion (Li) Takes On A Personal Vendetta When His Master Is Beaten To Near Death While, Li's On Vacation In L.A. The Film Contains Reel After Reel Of Fast, Direct, Street-Effective Martial Arts Action Which Culminates In An Incredible One-On-One Finale Between Jet Li & Ex-Light Welterweight World Kickboxing Champion, Jerry Timble. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/21/23 Full Review Audience Member Classic! On old Jet Li film but if you are a Kung fu junky like me you'll appreciate some of the poor acting.
