Luc Besson's "Kiss of the Dragon" wasn't above average in the action department, but it had a heck of a good thriller-like plot, and really good dialogue - much less cheesy than most films of the genre. I also liked the fact that it involved non-American cultures - Chinese and French - for a change. It doesn't hold back from over-the-top bloody scenes, which some may like and some not. I just loved the ending, during which we find out what the 'kiss of the dragon' is. Wow, what an ending! The corrupt French police chief was one of the most evil villains I've seen yet. And Jet Li could pull the third layer of skin out from under the first two on a rabid pit bull in heat without a scratch. 9/10
