A fine example of "film d'martial arts".., 19 May 2001
Author: filozof (mehmetdemirhan@yahoo.com) from Istanbul, Turkey



The Quest is certainly one of JCVD's best. It has a quite good epic story and style which generally you cannot see in a martial arts movie. Come on people, this is action and so evaluate it in its genre. Emancipate yourselves from "film d'art" complexes. Give its right, this is an exquisite "film d'martial arts"..
