Summary: Strange acting, weird plot, good action
Review: This is a very odd story and is hard to follow. Jet Li plays an undercover agent (police of some kind) who is assigned to infiltrate an organized crime gang headed by a ruthless martial arts master who is played by one of the worst actors I've ever seen. He is excellent in the fight scenes though and quite often surpasses Jet Li's skill.

Jet Li's young son is also a junior kung fu master and longs for his father's return home from frequent trips. His mother has become very sick recently though, and this only makes it worse.

This movie is worth seeing for the fantastic fight scenes, but the plot is too odd to even consider.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: ..Jet rides again..
Review: This is a well done movie, the little kid is fantastic, I just wish he had shared more fight scenes with Jet. The female cop sent to find him is also very good, their scenes show an underlying friendship/love and admiration. Very well done and one of my fave Jet Li flicks..

Summary: Dimension's second release does not live up to its first
Review: This is the second release in the Jet Li collection by Dimension Home Video and where its first release Fist of Legend suceeded The Enforcer fails. First off, Jet Li is magnificent in the few fight scenes he is in, and the movie My Father Is A Hero (The Enforcer) is one of Jet's better all around films. However Dimension seems to have sped up Jet in his final fight scene in this release and the music and revamped sound effects do not always coincide. I would have given this film a four stars if not for this shortcoming. Fist of Legend was beautifully done in this aspect to bad The Enforcer didn't follow suit. Hopefully Twin Warriors (Dimension's next release aka Tai Chi Master) will learn from its first progenitor rather than this one. This still does not encumber the beauty of Jet's kinetic and irresistable screen presence.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Terrible overdub, excellent movie
Review: This movie has a great story, and some awesome fight scenes. The problem with this is the terrible overdub audio. The mouth movement is obviously not in synch with the audio, but this is not too bad. The terrible part is that they picked horrible voices for this. The audio sounds like a cartoon with a super hero and a villan. They could have done way better. The audio sounds really corny and fake. The movie itself is awesome. I would much rather hear the audio in a different language and see the subtitles.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: American version ok, da original chinese version much better
Review: This movie was ok, but da dubbing ..., and thanx alot to "Dimension Home Video" they re did da sound effects of da movie and it was capital B "BAD". Trust me, if u wanna get dis movie on VHS or DVD, get da orginal one "My Father Is A Hero", itz in itz original language (since I never saw da original, I think da original language is Cantonese, either dat or Mandarin) and da sound effects have gotta be better. I saw da dubbed version of "Once Apon A Time In China" and compared to da original version (Cantonese) I saw da original is WAY better

Summary: review of enforcer
Review: This movie was previously entitled "my father is a hero" and it is terrible. The plot is stupid and the cineatography is terrible even on DVD. The martial arts fight do not display Jet Li true talent. Avoid this movie. If you really want to see a great Jet Li movie that displays his awesome martial arts talent, get "Fist of Legend" that is his best movie and believe me, you will not be disappointed.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: The worst Jet Li movie I've seen
Review: Who in their right minds decided to dub and release this movie? Coming after the spectacular Fist of Legend, I expected this to have some decent fights. Instead, we, the schmucks who bought this DVD, get a whole lot of poorly dubbed family scenes. I'm sure they were fine in Chinese, but the God-awful dubbing ruins any possible emotion this movie might have dredged up. Also, the best fight scene in the movie is equivalent to the worst fight scene in Black Mask, which was a mediocre Jet Li movie. AVOID THIS DISC AT ALL COSTS!

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Terrible overdub, excellent movie
Review: Wow, the only good part of the movie was Jet Li and the kid that played his son in the movie (sorry cannot recall name). It had a few good action scenes but if you are looking for a good action movie by Jet Li check out Fist of Legen or Twin Warriors. Those are my two favorite Jet Li movies and they are a must see for every martial arts fan. Good try Jet, but stick with the good scripts and you'll get a better critique next time.
