I'd never heard of this film or it's principles, and watched this based on the Amazon plot-summary and multi-star rating. I was engrossed thruout the flick, and rank it as almost as good as Jet Li, Bruce Lee, Jackie Chan, and Chuck Norris action classics. The "almost" is because the martial-arts sequences seemed somehow slightly sluggish, tho often commendably novel.

The characters and plot (including some great car/van chases) were better than most of these classics, the dialog more real, and the French scenery a great plus. The bad guys were great scumbags, and got the upper hand often enough to keep the good/bad tension steadily absorbing. The intrepid female lead was an appealing and believable gamin for our stone-faced Hero to save repeatedly, and the (predictable) outcome of the drama was straightforward and satisfying.

Kudos to all who brought us this addition to the Thriller / Action / Martial Arts genre - More more!

This movie was one of Jason's best. The characters were believable and this movie totally put the "thrill" back into thrillers. I liked it so much that it will be one for my library.
