IMDB

Chow Yun-Fat is a hitman for a crime syndicate. When his boss' son is killed, he orders Chow Yun-Fat to kill the police officer's (the one who killed his son) son. Chow can't bring himself to do it and is on the run. He accidentally brings a woman who makes forged documents into the fold. They go on the run together, trying to get to Chow's mom and sister before his former boss can.
This movie was not all that good. It wasn't awful. It was definitely watchable. Lots of shooting. Mira Sorvino and Chow Yun-Fat are great actors and manage to get a little more out of this movie than other actors could. The directing is somewhat stylized, somewhat Jon Woo-esque. Nothing offensive here, but not particularly good. Better than average, but not by much.

6/10

Rating Scale Explanation

The rating scale is simple. 1 is the worst 10 is the best and 5 is mediocre. 5.5 or greater is a movie that I at least find enjoyable. You could also think of 5 as a zero and 1 as a negative 5. I feel like that sounds even more convoluted.
