Scripts to Jackie Chan movies are almost never anything to write home about. Sometimes however he has a story that is actually engrossing. This time around the script is horrid and the dialogue hits new lows. The most ridiculous plot-hole is the finale, where for some absurd reason Jackie with the unanimous applause of the whole international secret service and local police service decides to engage in a high-speed truck ride, where the truck's cargo is petrol and on fire. The logical thing to do would be to stop the truck and run the hell out of there.
But a Jackie Chan movie is never about script, plot holes or dialogue. Its about the action. And this time its un-CGI-ied Jackie Chan, the guy we've grown to know and love. The fights are some of Jackie's best yet and are never boring, especially when Jackie is trying to escape from the spa. And no matter how idiotic the reasoning of the action is in the end you really just don't care.
In the end even though you feel like fast forwarding the filler and getting to the action I absolutely enjoyed watching this movie, but honestly can't rate it higher than 5. It really wouldn't hurt to actually hire a good script doctor to check out the story before you film it.
To all the ladies: If you ever wanted to see Jackie Chan's butt cheeks this is the movie to rent! Absolutely hilarious.
Script, dialogue: 1/10 Action: 9/10
