.
It has elements of all, but I didn't think they were blended well together.
It was more like - lets have some action, then some comedy, etc. without
tying them into a whole.
At the same time, these elements on their own
are well done and both Chow Yun Fat and Wu Chien-lien display great charisma
and wonderful chemistry together.
CFY is a CIA agent and his assignment is to track down "The National Treasure
of China". This turns out to be Wu Chien-lien who is hiding in a monastery
on the Mainland and she has magical powers. At least they got that right
- WCL is a national treasure and has never looked lovelier. An interesting
attempt that does not quite come off.
My rating for this film: 7.5
