Gorgeous (4 Stars)

Action has never looked this good? I beg to differ. While I'm a big Jackie Chan film, this isn't one of his best.

It's another of the "message in a bottle" films that have been made as long as cinema has existed. Shu Qi is a young girl in Taiwan who finds a love letter in a bottle washed in by the tide. She travels to Hong Kong to find the note's author and meets a businessman, played by Jackie Chan, caught up in the middle of a hostile takeover. A fairytale with martial arts and industrial espionage. Interesting viewing, but the kind of film you can only watch once.
