80Rush Hour effectively teams Jackie Chan and Chris Tucker in a formulaic but funny action comedy that should please fans of both stars.
-
80The first real Jackie Chan picture crafted for the American market, is a terrific piece of junk filmmaking.
-
80A sturdily entertaining vehicle, easily the little guy's best American-made film.
-
75Lightweight and made out of familiar elements, but they're handled with humor and invention.
-
75It's the kind of copycat movie that becomes original through its cast and treatment.
-
75The fast-talking Tucker and quick-kicking Chan are a surprisingly good team that manages to deliver a fun combination of highly choreographed action and comedy.
-
75This good-natured comedy is set off by the high spirits of its stars.
-
75The emphasis is on comedic interaction, not plot - too bad, "48 HRS" had both - but the pair adds spice to the predictable opposites-detract gags.
-
The movie is no more than a well-produced confection designed for quick payoff in the big cities, but it's pretty consistently funny.
-
70A frankly formulaic but raucously entertaining action comedy.
-
70While there's nothing original in Rush Hour, it runs through its well-worn paces with both wit and excitement.
-
63There's a familiar feeling to the movie even beyond its twinkle-eyed martial arts melees.
-
60The stunts are great but they make sense and don't blow the sense of reality of the whole movie.
-
60The movie seems to proceed from somebody's notion that it would be hilarious to see a black guy and a Chinese guy working together.
-
60The problem with Rush Hour is that the film isn’t a partnership, it’s a Chris Tucker movie with Chan as straight man.
-
60At regular intervals the film stops short for similiarly nifty Chan choreography, letting the star flip, swivel, scamper up walls and hurl large objects with his feet.
-
60The contrast between Tucker's motormouth and Chan's man of few words should be funnier, but the plot -- which is cliched without quite becoming self-reflexive -- and the uneven pace dampen most of their moments.
-
50A somewhat lackluster cop buddy movie that goes wrong in two big ways: (1) it fails to utilize Chan's full range of skills, relegating him to the role of a kickboxing action hero and virtually ignoring his comedic aptitude, and (2) it saddles him with a partner, played by the irritating Chris Tucker.
-
50The crime story here is lazily constructed, mostly an excuse for the give-and-take between Tucker and Chan, which is shrill and raucous without being especially clever.
-
50A misbegotten marriage of sweet and sour.
-
42The two characters barely even have a relationship; they're a union of demographics--the "urban" market meets the slapstick-action market.
-
40There may be nothing new under the sun, but you can bet your life there's absolutely nothing new about Rush Hour at all.
-
It's not much fun to watch.

AnsonG.10Great comedy and action movie. Jackie Chan showed his martial art stunts, although Chris Tucker was quite funny man.
