I guess it depends on your definition of Jet Li movie, his just being in
it vs. starring as the lead. He's been in lots of English language
movies that I thought were good, but those were ensemble movies. For
movies where he was the main lead I thought Cradle 2 Grave was
watchable. And I also liked War. Kiss of the Dragon may not have the
best plot, but I loved the fight scenes. This was probably my favorite:

"Fight!"

I used to get high on life but lately I've built up a resistance.
