Reviews

" The fascination of a Jackie Chan film was based on the knowledge that have been working without a safety net. [ ... ] It is incomprehensible, however, why. Following the disappointing, The Tuxedo ' for the second time have to serve superhuman abilities as an excuse for that Jackie recently suspended in air acrobatics on wires [ ... ] The tired stunts could cope with Jackie's comedic talent would have been duly staged. But even the laughs do not go to his account, but on that of the wild grimacing Lee Evans. This leaves only Chan's charm, and it alone is not wearing a film. Conclusion: uninspired B movie, is beaten in the kung- fu comedian Jackie Chan under value ".

And he does well in this international panel, effect -charged big-budget comedy adventure from Chinese production. [ ... ] Conclusion: Action wit: . A good mix "
