Even with its official release in 2007, Jet Li's film was a huge success on the platform.

The feature film was released on Netflix last Wednesday, the 2nd, and achieved greater prominence than many original productions on the platform, due to the preference of the subscribing public. However, behind the scenes, many controversies were publicized in the media, at the time of the film's release. One of them was the annoyance of one of the protagonists with the direction the film took.

Jet Li was dissatisfied with the direction that the production decided for the film. Even during a promotional launch interview, the actor would have commented on the situation and his dissatisfaction with the production. According to IMDb, Jet Li would have said that the film was "terrible".

Actor Jet Li's statements about the film

The actor stated in one of the interviews at the time that he did not feel faith in the work done by the director of “Rogue: The Killer”, Philip G. Atwell. This film was the director's debut at the head of a feature film production, and even though he returned to work as an assistant director on other films, Atwell never directed another film again.

Finally, Jet Li also said that, halfway through the shooting of the film, he already imagined that the production would not have the desired success, both critically and at the box office. And in this statement, he was not wrong. With just a 13% critical approval rating on Rotten Tomatoes, “Rogue: Assassin” earned just $40 million worldwide.
