Two Giants

Jet Li + Jason Statham = War = lisflix bliss.
Even though Statham's last film Crank was a piece of crap, I'll never stop paying for a second row seat to his cinematic ass kickings. This is a great pairing with an ending just ambiguous enough to indicate we may be seeing more from these two. Jet plays a two-timing bad guy working for both the Chinese Triad and Japanese Yakuza in a feud that's lasted decades. Statham plays an FBI agent who's also an expert in Asian organized crime, and whose partner is killed in retaliation for an FBI sting. Some good fight scenes, great dialogue, and lots of ego bruising. Winner!
