Its a 'meh' story from a legendary action star
While I may be writing this review now, Ive actually watch like months ago. I'll try to keep it a decent length reviews as found that there are loads of negatives and positives comment from here.
1. I love and admire the relationship between Jacky and his horse. Its like a man's best friend but in a form of a horse, I mean wow, I am really suprise a horse can have that level of emotions, loyalty and closeness to Jacky. And in fact, 40% of the comedy comes from him. Cool...though towards the end...you know..some find it emotional but personally, I kinda lean towards the annoying side of it...its like they placed a bread to heat in the oven..but they tune it to like 300°C, 20 minutes...yea its that over. I see some people kinda am ok with it. Great for them, but for me...nahh thanks.
2. Generic father- daughter troubled relationship. Swear this isnt Jacky's first movie with this concept, its a rinse and repeat format which I was like..yea...some parts did well, but others...I felt that the daughters role may have overshadowed Jackie...not my cup of tea.
3. You see stunts...little bit more stunts here but...seems like he is rinsing his last bits of stunt ideas, some parts were exceptionally great, like my mind was like ' WOW, A HORSE CAN DO THAT?'. Admiration...that is something cool there..
4. Tribute? I am gonna lie, I feel that is a wrong way to show a tribute and a totally drain water whose idea is to use his old stunt videos as a tribute. To me, if you want to do a tribute, keep it glorious, respected, motivational, emotional. However, I only see emotional in this one. There are so many scenes he could have be like...Ok this is my last try (the castle scene), where je did it in a glorious way and give it that ending people crave for..but you know what they did? Give Up!. Kids, teens, adults, everyone who are watching this...dont do that. Dont give up! You wont know how close you are into achieving it. Just because of a few phobia, he decided that he is done for it.
I am gonna stop here, do have loads more comment on the choppy storyline..like it felt they had multiple teams writing their part of story and just connect it. So, parts will be uneven and even confusing. But, still...I see the beauty of this drama from the man-horse, father-daughter relationship and selected stunts. And one more thing...Jacky is better of as a slapstick comedy man then an emotional one. But yea, here it is, my review.
