Director : Boaz Yakin
Running Time : 94 mins
Child genius Mei (Chan) is kidnapped by the Triads and held captive in order for them to use her incredible memory to store secrets so as to avoid leaving a traceable digital footprint. She is spotted in a train station by ex-cop turned cage fighter Luke Wright (Statham) who, seeing she is in distress, attempts to help her, leading to him having to avoid both Chinese and Russian gangs, as well as the NYPD itself.
This is a nice idea, but having a cage fighter turned kidnapped-child-rescuer was just too much for me. Statham annoyingly gruff cockney voice started to grate on me after about ten minutes, and the little girl was pretty pathetic until the final showdown with one of the villains. Fans of Van Damme and Seagal style action flicks will like this, but don’t expect Shakespeare.
