Critic Reviews

  • Owen Gleiberman, Entertainment Weekly

    Makes you long for Tucker -- and for Jackie Chan to fly without digital wings.

  • Ben Kenigsberg, Village Voice

    This outing, Jackie doesn't bring much humor or personality to his role.

  • Charles Taylor, Salon.com

    If writers think that they have to give Jackie Chan superpowers and special effects in order for him to do amazing things, they clearly have no idea who they're writing for.

  • Matt Bonesteel, Washington Post

    Chan's normally homegrown stuntwork is replaced by a lot of wire fighting and special effects.

  • Ann Hornaday, Washington Post

    So cheesy and cheap that it almost attains high camp.
