The power is balanced between the two and they become the strongest people in the multiverse. He is chased by two of his former colleagues in an effort to stop him and put him in jail,because if anyone of them dies it could damage the balance of the multiverse.

I personally enjoyed the movie, it's one of my favorites. It has amazing action / fighting scenes.

I loved the love story between the lead and his wife who stood beside him and believed in him even when what he was saying to her sounded crazy. I loved how they had matching necklines. I loved his lines about how she was his centre and without her he was just as bad as the evil one.

 

The visual effects are good, especially when we get to see Jet Li fighting himself.

The soundtrack is good, it consists mostly of rock music.

The acting is good, the actors, like Jet Li, Carla Gugino and Delroy Lindo, get to play double role.

The movie received negative reviews, and grossed almost 80 million dollars at the box office, against a budget of 49 million.

Cinema Score audiences graded the movie a B.

Allegedly, Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson was supposed to play the lead, Gabe Law / Gabriel Yulaw.

Rating : It's so money !
