Customer Reviews of The Defender
A great Jet Li movie Hong Kong is where Jet's real movies are. After seeing Jet's three U.S. releases in the theaters, Lethal Weapon 4, Black Mask, and Romeo must Die, I must say that his stateside released movies do not even come close to the ones he made in Hong Kong. I know Black Mask was made in Hong Kong, so that is one exception. Anyways, Bodyguard from Beijing was a great movie filled with great action scenes. But what I really liked about this movie was the love story subplot between Michelle and Jet. Do not take this film as some sort of chop-socky flick because it isn't. I felt there was not enough action scenes, but the quality of the ones in the movie and the story itself makes this one great entertaining movie.
Typical Hong Kong action with another silly female co-star.
Don't get me wrong, I enjoyed this movie immensely. When you watch a Jet Li action film, though, you have to remember that plot, dialogue and acting are not what you are looking for. My favorite part in the film had to be the "mall sequence" in which the bodyguard (Jet Li) takes Christy Cheung shopping. What ensues is a rather intense action sequence that ends up looking like a live-action video game with a nearly unlimited supply of bad-guys popping out of every nook and cranny of the mall. That's the kind of action that seems possible only in Hong Kong films. One thing that I have grown very tired of in these movies are the whiny, silly, idiotic and immature female characters that Jet Li ends up risking his life for. Christy Cheung is no exception, playing her part as whiny and spineless as possible. Yeah, sure she's pretty, but if I were Jet Li, I would've let the bad guys have her since she hardly seems worth all the trouble.
Good drama and action sequences
Even in a love movie Jet never fails to deliver. Sent from Beijing to protect the fiancee of a businessman, Jet gets straight to work by laying off the entire security staff. The rest of the movie involves him fighting with the fiancee about his hard hand tactics, eventually leading to feelings of love.
