This is sort of a Chinese Mission: Impossible, a film with very similar visuals, and the plot is also partly set in the Czech Republic, so Marek Vašut got some work again and even managed to say something, even though it seemed like a silent role. However, neither Andy Lau nor Jean Reno were properly used for the roles, which is a great shame.

A fine affair, but given the casting, more could have been extracted. Seeing the cute Qi Shu, Jean Reno and Andy Lau in one film is fine, but it doesn't try to impress with anything else. The action isn't much and is rather average, but at least it's entertaining and doesn't slip into boredom. The scenes from Prague with the accompaniment of Smetana's “Vltava” are a plus, which I really didn't expect in a Hong Kong film. The Korean The Thieves was more sophisticated. 60%.
