Editorial Reviews
Martial-arts maestro Jet Li strengthens his hold on international screen stardom with this elaborate, stylistically elegant, and characteristically vigorous action melodrama, certainly his best English-language vehicle to date. Produced and coauthored by French filmmaker Luc Besson (La Femme Nikita), Dragon begins with Li, playing a coolly efficient Chinese lawman, arriving in Paris to assist a high-level government official investigating international drug trafficking. After the official is murdered, Li discovers that the criminal mastermind is a French police inspector (Tcheky Karyo) with virtually the entire Parisian underworld at his beck and call. Bridget Fonda costars as Li’s reluctant ally, a young American mother separated from her child and enslaved as a prostitute. Director-of-record Chris Nahon, in his first effort, is clearly influenced heavily by Besson; Dragon exhibits all that filmmaker’s stylistic traits and shares the techno-noir look of his previous movies. The star and his fight choreographers make inventive use of big sets and small props: You’ll be amazed by what Li can do with, for example, a flying billiard ball. The plot might be a little murky with regard to such trivial things as logic and motivation, but whenever Li springs into action -- which he does frequently -- Kiss of the Dragon becomes rousing entertainment sure to please old fans and create new ones. Nahon joins Li and Fonda for a feature-length commentary accompanying the DVD, which also includes four featurettes covering different aspects of the film's production, two storyboard-to-film comparisons, a gallery of stills, and sundry theatrical trailers and TV spots.
