I saw it tonight and I have to admit I was disappointed.  The action was good but the acting was straight up sh*t-house.  But then again I guess I dont watch action films for the acting.  
I think the strongest point of the movie was the story or the idea, even though it was a little rough around the edges, it had good potential.  I think that was the real meat of the movie.  Some scenes didnt make sense like if he is fast enough to dodge bullets then how come he has a hard time trying to beat up Delroy Lindo?
Jet is a brilliant martial artist but his acting wasnt so good here, at least its better in Chinese films.  I mean I dont think he even kissed his wife once in the entire film.  
I also think the choreography needed work.  The action scenes should have been sped up, not slowed down.  A common flaw with western directors.  Jet is capable of so much more and with the technology they had he should have been really flying around kicking the shiz out of everyone like he does in Once Upon a time in China series.
