April 19, 2011The storyline may not always be sterling in a Jet Li movie, but one thing you can say for sure: Once Jet Li starts rocking in his purist martial arts action, there are few more stunning practitioners. See this maybe a whole lot less for the story than to see Li when he starts t... read more

August 12, 2010This is such a weird movie and I've seen my fair share of weird movies before. Maybe it's the combination of stylized action, gore, british dubbing and 80s feel to it. I really wasn't expecting it to be what it was. Jet Li looks like Kato from the Green Hornet and more or less is... read more

John J. Puccio, Movie Metropolis
Weak plot, no logic, and bad dubbing to boot. But "Black Mask" has one of the highest energy quotients you'll find in any action thriller around.

it's paced well, Jet kicks a lot of bootie, it has romance, betrayal and a sense of humor. Full Review

The action sequences, hyperkinetic almost to a fault, make you forget they're saying really cheesy things that you hope were mistranslated. Full Review

Nicely gets the job done as either a showcase for Jet Li's athletic talents or an undemanding blast of action and mayhem. Full Review
