      Critics Consensus

      The use of special effects diminishes some of Chan's appeal in this disposable picture.

      gg's C I think a Jackie Chan Lee Evans combo is just brilliant. This is one of those movies to watch when you are feeling low. Lots of laughs and clean fun . Loved it. You will too Rated 5 out of 5 stars 07/19/23 Full Review Josh G Heavily influenced by every genre from the time period Jason Borne, Excessive slow motion and Music video quick cutting of MCG. This a flat and dull affair filled with sequence, poor character development and a lack of a love story. It leaves you starching your head more than enjoy the only charm the film Jackie Chan trying a bit. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/26/23 Full Review steve d Repetitive convoluted and dumb. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 03/30/23 Full Review Lincoln G This movie was awesome! I loved every moment of it, especially the hilarious comedy that was present throughout the movie. I thought the acting was impeccable and the casting was truly fantastic! I thought that Lee Evans really helped this movie alot with his character as he was very easy to familiarise with. Jackie Chan also brought this movie to life with his "small words - big meanings" mentality, the use of Clair added some spice to it giving Jackie's character a love interest (even though they seem to have a large age gap, but age is just a number. The one thing that I really thought added an edge to this movie, was the excellent use of visual effects. We were able to see them throughout the film and it blew me away by how well they were done. Firstly the use of the vfx really shows you what this movie was capable of during its time. This can allow us to see how much better this movie truly is compared to others that were released during the time period. Further the use of casting has greatly increased this movies value. Using such big names such as Jackie Chan, Lee Evans and Clair Florani really attract the interest of viewers. Finally the amount of money that was lost from this film was truly inspiring and jaw dropping because I would have never thought that this movie would have made such a bad box office considering how good it was. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 12/17/22 Full Review Audience Member A stupid movie that won't even work for the kids. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 01/16/23 Full Review Audience Member Ridiculous and terrible movie, but at least it made me laugh out loud.
