Review of High Risk (1995) by Steve W — 21 Jul 2011
In this intense and action packed Die Hard clone, Jet Li plays Kit Lee, a soldier whose family was bombed by "The Doctor". Years later, he becomes a bodyguard for a Jackie Chan like actor named Frankie Lone. The Doctor returns, and his prescription is to steal three valuable jewels from Grandtu Hotel.
The action is fierce and explosive, managing to keep the comedic angles at bay when the movie needs to be serious. Jet Li is as badass as ever, but also haunted by his past. Some side characters flesh out the story and provide subplots, but the movie is a lot of fun.
