For those who are kung-fu fans, this is a must see. Great action sequences and pretty good story line. Plus the music kicks ass.

Thanks, heard about this through QT whoring his name out again. Worth a buy or just a rental? For a guy who loved House of Flying Daggers, Crouching Tiger, Fearless, etc...

Great action scenes.
The takes on the scenes in the club, as he fights up the stairs, are VERY LONG.
Watch the camera follow him up the steps: very few edits/cuts.

I loved those movies, but I liked this one much better. It is definitely worh a buy - there is one sequence where the main character encounters 50 or so bad guys and everyone of them leaves with a broken bone (all in different ways). the fight scenes are amazing and the storyline is actually pretty cool.

If you loved Ong Bak, this is a must own. Otherwise, a great rental. I'm a Kung Fu Movie GEEK therefore it was a blind buy. L O V E D it! Jaa > Li anyday IMO.

This isn't up to the level of cinemetography of Daggers or Crouching Tiger but does have some great fight scenes. Great rental and definately worth seeing but not sure it's worth a buy.
Might have to watch it one more time to be sure.
It does have DTS soundtrack if that helps.

Watched this today and really enjoyed it. did anyone watch the "uncut international version"? I wonder if it's worth seeing it.

I watched the uncut version. Not sure how different that was. I don't know -- It was okay, I still prefer Jet Li movies. I thought the Jackie Chan cameo was funny, and also the same giant guy that was in Fearless was in this movie.
