    A disposable entertainment, redeemed by silliness, exaggeration, and Chan's skill and charm. I would not want to see it twice, but I liked seeing it once.

    As soon as the medallion appears, so do the digital maneuverings -- speeded-up movement, composite images, objects and people morphing into supernatural thingamajigs -- that undercut the genuine thrills of the genuine action.

    Chan defies time and gravity with remarkable energy, ease and resourcefulness, not to mention charm and humor. He even gets away with a nude scene, not bad for man who turns 50 in April.

    The formulaic movie would be forgettable but inoffensive if it were anyone else posing for blue screen CGI effects.

    This movie was terrible, absolute tripe. The story was all over the place and action just seemed to come out of nowhere. Its actually a little funny to watch - just to laugh at how bad it is. I'm giving it a 1 just forr the line ' bring me the boy - in dublin'.… Expand
