Too much of everything

It's entirely possible that sending the audience out feeling lousy was intentional

I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.

Very good movie overall, highly recommended. Most of the negative reviews don't have any merit and are all pollitically based. Give this movie a chance at least, and it might give you a different perspective.

Surprisingly good due to Adrien Brody's standout performance as a villain, and the great fight scenes. The first part of the movie was a bit long and focused on Jackie Chan's Huo An bonding with John Cusack's character. The second part, when Adrien Brody makes an appearance is where the pace picks up, and things get more exciting. John Cusack is undoubtedly a great actor, but the real scene-stealer is Adrien Brody. He exudes evil, but portrays his character with depth. It is not easy to command screen in the presence of a legend like Jackie Chan, but Brody does that easily and you can believe that he could go toe to toe on a fight with Jackie Chan. Though there is a lot of CGI in the scenery, the fights were realistic and grounded. Another great thing that Hollywood could learn from is how this movie handles diversity. Cusack and Brody are allowed to shine while the top-billed Chan gets to do what he does best, the action. The prelude and epilogue of the story, though not connected to the main plot actually provides a good wrapping to the movie. However, Chan's attempt to insert comedy in his action seems a little stale and out of place. All in all, a brilliant action movie in its own right, and a must see for Jackie Chan fans.

For me, this film is one of the little jewels sometimes can be missed. It s almost a gargantuan production, it seems to be nothing's been saved to give that film the grandiosity and the depth the director want to transmit to us.A mash up of actors, good actors, featuring different characters we usually are used to know them.I don t wanna extend myself and I apologize for the grammatical mistakes, but to me, this films has tremendous action scenes, very moving dialogues and if we manage to relax our eye upon some historical errors that can be found, it's really enjoyable.Thank you for your attention, happy new year.

WOW, I have to admit, I didn't have any idea what this film would be like, or what it was about. However, with Mister Chan in it, I wanted to see what it was.Everyone in it earned their pay, and of the ones I saw, they surely did a good job of it.As I have said in the past, I do NOT write Reviews, I give my humble opinion. Let those that read this make up their own minds.The character played by Mister Chan, has a United Nations long before it was even thought of, and they do it well.From the beginning, I was wondering just what was going to happen, and then as the story moved on, I was taken along with it which gave me pleasure.YES, I would watch this film again, and I am sure that I would enjoy it at least as much as I did this time.Keep up the good work Mister Chan.

No seriously. It's just impossibly contrived and astonishingly bad.I like Jackie Chan, and I like John Cusack. Plus I have a pretty high tolerance for narratively weak martial arts films, but this one sets a new standard.The dialogue is only slightly more coherent than the plot. The costuming and customs portrayed as well as the architecture and technology are a chaotic hodgepodge of historical inaccuracies and arbitrarily invoked stereotypes. The actors barely even have a chance to act well, given the constant melodrama demanded by the script.I get that the film is trying to show a merging of culture's into some idealized vision of peace, but you can't just throw a bunch of random characters together like an ancient epcot center and expect it to work.
