Action/Adventure and Science Fiction/Fantasy 1 hr. 43 min. For 60 years, a mysterious monk with no name (Chow Yun-Fat) has traversed the globe to protect an ancient scroll - a scroll that holds the key to unlimited power. Now the Monk must look for a new scrollkeeper. Kar (Seann William Scott) is an unlikely candidate, a streetwise young man who only cares about himself. But when he inadvertently saves the Bulletproof Monk from capture, the two become partners in a scheme to save the world from the scroll's most avid pursuer. The Monk, Kar and a sexy Russian mob princess called Bad Girl (Jaime King) must struggle to find, face and fight the ultimate enemy.

One word explains this entire movie, and that word is "Yuck." I had to say the previews made it seem like a funny twist on Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, however it doesn't even come close to that movie. The jokes are forced and old, and the dialogue between characters is the saddest I have seen thus far. Not to mention, there are so many plot holes that it makes you wonder how this story even got past it's paper version. Actually, it makes me wonder how it even got out of the person's mind.

It seemed like the writer had a book of old jokes that he used to write this entire script. It was a sad, pathetic attempt at humor. The love between the two characters is rammed down your throat.However, I can not say the movie was all bad, because it wasn't at all. There is a nice little twist at the end, which is the reason that this will even get a half decent review from me.
