It stars my next wife, Michelle Yeoh. The most lovely, stunt performing lady working today. Sorry Jeeja- you're cute too! ;) Unfortunately, I thought it was a major disappointment. It's worth watching, but it's severely lacking. If you want to see great stuff with Michelle, then check out these:
POLICE STORY 3: SUPERCOP
YES, MADAM
ROYAL WARRIORS
WING CHUN
MAGNIFICENT WARRIORS
TAI-CHI MASTER
And for ridiculous, but fun B movies:
WONDER SEVEN
HOLY WEAPONS -In this one she teams up with a bunch of other butt-kicking swordswomen. At one point, they all hold on to one another, forming one giant fighter made out of multiple women (one for each leg and arm, et.). IT'S CRAZY!

I agree... from one of the greatest female MA stars it's SOOOOooo disapointing. Bob's list is a far better choice for Michelle Yeoh films. Even Project S is beter, no really!
EDIT: Herioc Trio & Executioners too :)

How on Earth did I forget those 3?! :p
GoldenFist- PROJECT S is a sequel to POLICE STORY 3: SUPERCOP. Sometimes even referred to as SUPERCOP 2. JC only makes a brief, silly cameo (which I kind of recall being cut out of the US version), but the film's got a good story and some outstanding action- both stunts and fights.

Silver Hawk is a major disappointment.:( Uninteresting characters, action is below average, and no story whatsoever. Michelle Yeoh is above this dreck. She's the only reason to see it still, but you'll wonder why she did it.

Not to beat a dead horse... BUT...
When you really dig an actress- she's a great actor, physically accomplished, sexy- and you hear she's going to play a superhero... well, you feel like "How could they possibly screw this up?" Then, you get SILVERHAWK. :l Underwhelming action, a not very sexy costume, and uninspired direction, all add up to an even bigger disappointment than CAT WOMAN... which you kinda' figured was gonna suck anyway!

I happened to catch this on cable once. The only interesting part I thought (and probably the most random one) was when the roller hockey dudes showed up. Otherwise, like everyone else said, it's a real sleeper.
Actually, I rather enjoyed this one. I'm generally not a fan of modern martial arts movies, and reading a bunch of negative reviews, I went in not expecting too much. It's kind of light-hearted and by no means is it an intense fight-fest, but I liked the superhero aspect, and I generally liked the look of the action (more slo-mo, not much undercranking). Pretty decent production values, too. And I guess Michelle Yeoh's charm added enough for me to enjoy it overall, although I'm not going to argue it was a fantastic movie.

I thought it was okay (better than 'The Touch' anyway :p)

speaking of Michelle Yeoh has she stopped taking martial art/action roles only performing dramatic ones?

She was just kicking ass in THE MUMMY 3 this summer.
