    We're both loyal Jackie fans but this attempt at the buddy, buddy picture was just weak. Miss Hewitt really didn't have much to add in Jackie's favor and her shoes really could of been filled by any current popular female actress...sorry Miss Love. Rent this one, if need be.

    A message from jacki chan, get the hell out of amrican filmmaking and go back to hongkong. The special effets are disappointing because jackie chan movies dont need it, it takes away everything that is fun in a jackie chan move, A piece of junk.

    Not entirely groundbreaking but doesn't suck like what the review here says.

    Despite the always dazzling fight scenes and the comedic quips that were certainly up to a Jackie Chan movie's standards, and despite Hewitt's valiant attempt to breathe life into such an improbable role, I found the plot not to be particularly strong, and the plot twists and character development were shallow at best. Despite some played-down matrixesque special effects, I left the theatre not feeling particularly impressed. Expand

    I am giving this movie a 10 becuase I think that the reviews are not fair. It was just as good as the other Chan movies, which are all pretty good. It was really entertaining.

    Jackie was great, but Jennifer Love Hewitt's acting pulled this movie way down.

    The only thing good about this movie is Jennifer Love Hewitt's acting and Jackie Chan's fighting, but the plot went nowhere.

    Fantastic! Engrossing! Super plausible plot! Ultra funny jokes! If you're 10 yrs old.

    Pure formula and cliches. Jackie Chan is his usual, goofy self and Jennifer Love Hewitt has no charm whatsoever.

    I love Jackie, but this wasn't one of his best and Jennifer Love is less than entertaining in this movie.

  1. A breakthrough for karate comedy king Chan, but not necessarily the kind we've all been waiting and hoping for. It's an ultra-digitized DreamWorks show crammed with elaborate special effects, the kind that physical-stunt specialist Chan has always avoided.
  2. It's a comic-book idea that might have been fun. But it's beyond the reach of first-time feature director Kevin Donovan, who squanders his main asset, Jackie Chan, and fumbles the vital action sequences.

    You know you're in trouble when 50% of the running length is devoted to plot exposition, and the movie still doesn't make any sense.
