Owww my head...

Oh dear... After years of pleading with the American people to take JC to superstardom we do he brings this? THIS? The worst Jackie Chan movie to date, and it was up against some pretty stiff dross that he's made recently. Jackie me old mucka - we loved your original stuff; it had heart and extraordinary bravery coupled with amazing martial arts sequences. Your last few movies have been at best mediocre though and this is just eye-manure. One last thing - wires. Don't use them mate they make you look crap. Avoid - 3/10 out of pity for Jackie.
