Review: When American moviegoers think dramatic acting the first name that comes to mind isn't likely to be Jet Li.   One of the negatives about genre film is that we get to see one side of an actor.  Jackie Chan, for example, is a fantastic actor, but we only want to see him jumping around like a monkey.  The same could be said for Li.  Ocean Heaven is a fantastic example of just what Li has to offer as a serious actor.  This film, dealing with autism and the harsh realities that can come with it, is serious, touching and may enduce some teary eyes from time to time.  We do highly recommend checking it out.

The special features on this DVD include: Jet Li interview about Autism, Deleted Scenes, Photo Gallery and Trailers.
