User Review
Star-studded enjoyable Jackie Chan movie with an excellent combination of action and comedy, and adorable baby!
Rating: 8/10
All I can say is, this is definitely a Jackie Chan movie and fans will
definitely not be disappointed at all. Even with his advancing age and
toning down of action scenes, Jackie still has it in him and never
fails to entertain. For those fans wondering about action scenes, sure
Jackie isn't what he used to be back in the heyday of 80's Hong Kong
cinema, but his top notch action choreography is still inventive and
fun to watch, and there are many fun set pieces. The comedy is also
very well done and there are many endearing scenes with the real star
of the show, baby Matthew Medvedev, who will melt any viewer's heart.
Jackie and his co-stars' characters are very sympathetic and the acting
for the most part is spot on. Benny Chan does an excellent job
directing his stars and shows that he is not only able to direct a
serious action crime drama like Chan's previous New Police Story but is
also adept at the family action comedy as well. There are many cameos
from well known HK stars, so be sure to watch out for them. Chan fans
will appreciate a special extended cameo. Overall an enjoyable quality
Chan family movie.
