JCVD tends to play characters who think the end justifies the means, while Jackie tends to play characters who do the right thing no matter the cost. I wouldn't want to guess who'd come out on top in a fight - one's powerful, but the other's indestructible.

Z'at enough of a plot for you to hang the action on?
But, who would the action-girl-finacee special guest asskicker who does a fair job rescuing herself and the obligatory kid while the guys fight the big boss in the final sequence be?
And why is this in Should Not Be anyway?
As for the competent female co-lead, I've always had a fondness for Lucy Liu... and her career peaked at the same general time as JCVD and Jackie's did, too.
