Forget the fact that there's no plot whatsoever and focus on the high-energy action (who knew there were so many glass walls to smash?), and you'll enjoy this dumb and noisy thriller in which Hong Kong superstar Chow Yun-Fat made his US debut. When he refuses to assassinate an assigned target in America, conscientious hitman Chow puts his family in danger back in China. Fiery Mira Sorvino co-stars as the expert passport forger who helps him when Chow's dismayed paymasters decide to rub him out. Don't think - just gawp at the wild gunplay and slick stunts.

Hired assassin John Lee is asked by Chinatown crime boss Terence Wei to murder the young son of policeman Stan Zedkov. Lee has the boy in his sights, but his conscience gets the better of him, and he spares the child's life. Afraid that Wei will take revenge on his family in China, Lee seeks out expert forger Meg Coburn to obtain the passport he needs to get out of the country, but a band of replacement killers is soon on his trail.
