Reviews
Pros:
- All of the action scenes are fun to watch, however some are far better than others
- Impressive settings and dangerous situations make some good, memorable, moments
- Once the story unfolds, and all of the characters are introduced, the movie becomes great
- The main characters are each interesting and unique
Cons:
- The plot is a total mess most of the times
- Some of the action is a bit too chaotic, which comes off as messy
- There is a lot of wasted time with scenes that do not add anything to the plot and are attempting to be funny
- It was really hard to care about the story, because of the lackluster introduction (first half)
Final thoughts:
This wasn't my favorite Jackie Chan movie, but there are worse ways to spend time! I wish the story was simplified and the characters were introduced a little better, but at least the action was cool.
