Résumés(1)
Le Moine 5 est un maître en arts martiaux, un modèle de sérénité zen, auquel fut jadis confiée la garde d'un manuscrit sacré, clé du pouvoir suprême. Après avoir assuré cette mission durant des temps immémoriaux, il se rend en Amérique pour passer le flambeau à son successeur. Stupeur et consternation : la prophétie a désigné comme gardien un petit voyou, aussi sympathique qu'incontrôlable du nom de Kar. S'armant de courage et de patience, Le Moine entreprend d'initier son jeune protégé pour lui permettre d'affronter le machiavélique super-méchant qui cherche depuis soixante ans à s'emparer du fameux manuscrit...

This is something that actors of calibre of Fat and Roden really don’t need. I felt genuinely sorry for them throughout this boring, uninteresting, horribly shot film with cheap effects and awfully childish humour.

Viewers who are more positively inclined towards the "made in Hong Kong" brand probably won't be able to forgive Chow Yun-Fat for the way he was willing to spill it over them, but I just don't send lowly positive action spectacles reluctantly. Excellent Scott, hints of bullet time, verbal and literal shootouts, and the feeling that bad ratings mainly stem from the fact that everyone used to read Premiere, which blasted "Munich" as an unwatchable B-movie. More than ten years after its premiere, Kar and co. are growing as a pure guilty pleasure.

It could have been a solid action flick with a weak story, it could have been one of those “smart” action films, and it could have easily been an easygoing B-movie, but the only word that comes to my mind after it ended is: nonsense. Glaring CGI Matrix-like visual effects, bad editing, confusing camera work. The acting is average, yet with great potential.
