...Hong Kong movie tradition of Danny Lee's defective detectives and Anthony Wong's beastly cops. Li uses chopsticks as surgical probes (martial-arts stars have done that for decades) and hurtles away from a gigantic fiery explosion (the capper to many a scene in Ringo Lam's heroic-bloodshed films). Li went to a new continent but is up to the same old mischief. He's like the American who goes to Paris and dines at McDonald...
...handcuffed him, questioned him at the tiny local police station near the church, whose steeple knifes above the rooftops of centuries-old stone houses, and drove him two and a half hours to a prison near Bordeaux.

Couples can exclude as much as $500,000 of gain ($250,000 for singles) when selling any house they've lived in for at least two of the previous five years. Thanks to a torrid real estate market, tens, maybe hundreds of thousands of upscale homeowners now sit atop such fat gains...
