WOW ! ACTION Jackie CHan is back ! Great stunts, and Comedy! (by pak-37-472137) |
I was honored by my friend, Daniel Wu coldwar, Police Story , to show me a screener of this movie. any real Jackie Chan fan knows a good movie! I have been watching all his movies since I was 7, lol. From Drunken Kung fu master to Rush Hour and the recent Dragon Blade. this is far the realest Hollywood movie Jackie has made. Despite the ones with Chris tucker, which made Jackie a sidekick..Jackie is no side kick. If anyone has watched his Hong Kong movies that were translated to English and debut in the late 90s and mid 2000s in USA.. you would Know Jackie CHAN is the leading action star in <more> |
There's hope! (by robnunya) |
I know the modern millennials, the intellectually inept, and also the emotionally unstable will not get it, but this little gem is a return to a time when movies meant to entertain rather than degrade.Yes the acting is simple and fun, but this isn't a history piece. Yes the story line is quick and nostalgically pure, but it isn't a melodrama. But here's what this film is not: it is not full of disgusting pornography and unnecessarily perverted innuendos to keep today's "youth" entertained by pulling on their neanderthal limbic responses to get a bite. There is no <more> |

Based on the ratings of this movie one would judge but would also miss out on the opportunity to enjoy a good laugh! |
Rush Hour meets Jackass! (by TheTopDawgCritic) |
This movie was fun, plain and simple fun! But some of the negative comments here... guys, give your heads a shake!This isn't a dramatic psycho-thriller nor a serious action movie! It's a Jackie Chan movie - and silly action and pleasantly stupid comedy as such! He does his own stunts AND he's getting old, so give the guy a break! Learn to classify your comments accordingly and appropriately!Then add Johnny Knoxville, and the humour and stupidity just multiply exponentially to 'let-your-self-go-FUN'... I couldn't stop laughing out loud! And I have to say, the <more> |
Jue di tao wang: I enjoyed it despite it's best efforts (by Platypuschow) |
Okay bear with me on this one, this is one of those films that I enjoyed yet I fully understand an argument against me doing so.You see Netflix decided to make another buddy duo with Jackie Chan, he's done great work with Chris Tucker, Owen Wilson and even Lee Evans before so it made sense. There is just something about him that screams buddy movie, so here they pair him with Johnny Knoxville which has been met with a very mixed reception. Do they have chemistry? I personally thought so.It tells a rather generic action movie story As they tend to do with lashings of comedy to keep it <more> |
A delight (by NateWatchesCoolMovies) |
Renny Harlin brings the action buddy comedy back into full swing with Skiptrace, a rambunctious romp through the Orient starring the perfectly paired odd couple of Jackie Chan and Johnny Knoxville. Harlin has lovingly studied stuff like Rush Hour and Shanghai Noon, creating a piece of adventurous fun that sits on the same level as those beloved classics, and even outdoes them in some areas of the stunt work. Chan must be well into his 50's now, but he still swings about like a squirrel monkey on Ritalin, agile as ever. Knoxville is a little less graceful, getting pummeled and thrown <more> |
Old style Jackie Chan film at it's core (by spin666) |
First of all if you like the old style Jackie Chan Films, you most likely would like this one!The pilot and sub-pilot is nothing to write home about, OK and fun, but not that special. But pace was just right, you never get bored even when the action happen to stop for moment. -Romance parts, all are feel little bit forced, but then again, you I am anyway are here to watch Jackie Chan movie, not some romantic drama. -Action was solid, but bit slow then Chan's old films, he does get old it seem. -comedic parts was also OK! Few here and few there, just to keep things light, which is good, I <more> |
