Undoubtedly the worst

What to say about this 2 hour ultimate boring stuff. Jackie should never have done it. I mean, he don't need to do films like this. He is already a big name in Hollywood and a film like this would do only harm to that hard earned reputation. Basically the film lacked sense. but a nonsense film can be a good entertainer, like bloodsport or many vandamme movies, But this one lacks in the entertainment part too. i wonder how much time Jackie was left 'wireless' in the movie. because all the time, he is either jumping or flying or running. Jackie, as a wonderful director himself, should have known that the film is nothing but @#$%. I wont recommend anybody to watch the movie. but i would like to advise the Hollywood filmmakers to watch some original Chinese stuff like police story or armor of god before getting into making a Jackie Chan movie.
