Dragon is one half detective story and one half martial arts film. If you're looking for non-stop fighting scenes, this won't be the film for you. The few fighting scenes that are featured are well choreographed, but they lack anything special that would set them apart from any other martial arts film. The story of Liu Jinxi, a martial artist with a dark past, and Xu Baijiu, an obsessive detective, provide the meat of the film. Liu Jinxi's past is what will keep you watching just to see the mystery unravel. That alone is saves this film from being just another martial arts film.

The story was interesting. This one is not just about the Kung Fu. I found I was watching more for the drama, than for the action. Some will be mixed on this one, and rightly so, because since it says martial arts most people are going to expect non-stop fighting with little or regurgitated story.

It started out good. Made it seem like a Sherlock Holmes type of feel. Then it kind of got dark with the whole demon gang thing. Not to much action. Worth watching if you got nothing else to watch.
