Load of rubbish!!
Absolutely brilliant
Let me be very fair here, this is not the best movie in my opinion. But, this movie is fun, it has purpose and is very enjoyable to watch.
Great story, amazing characters, superb action, enthralling cinematography. Yes, this is something I am glad I spent money on.
I think the best way to sum up this film is with the simple description: 'Raising Arizona' in Cantonese. What it lacks in Coen Brothers-esquire snappy dialogue (which it really doesn't lack that much; Jackie Chan again proving to be a talented writer), it makes up for with clever, funny set pieces that any other man over 50 would probably find quite hard to pull off. You've got to admire him for that, even if you don't like his films. But, I do. So, I admire him a lot. What we've got here is your basic 'Burglars-capture-baby-and-learn-to-love-him' with martial arts and stunts to put CGI animation to shame. Jackie Chan still has it. Let's just pray that he continues to have it for a good long while to come.To sum it up, I'd rather watch this film one hundred times than most of the drivel of the equivalent 'budget' that comes out of Hollywood. Adam Sandler, eat your heart out. You're not Jackie Chan.
People who watch Jackie Chan for the martial arts maybe will be disappointed! This is a comedy with some martial arts in it! Nothing spectacular although there are some nice stunts involving the baby! Actually this movie is proof that JC is trying to become more of an serious actor! In my opinion he successfully achieves a combination of drama and comedy! In the end they even managed to surprise you! If JC stays on this route I will support him all the way! This is the third movie he made in HK after his adventures in Hollywood! And again it is obvious that the movies he made and will make in Hong Kong are far superior to his Hollywood movies (not including the excellent Rumble in the Bronx,Battle Creek Brawl and the protector)!
I saw this movie yesterday and thoroughly enjoyed it.Traditionally, Jackie's movie is all about the action and nobody cares about the story line.So imaging my pleasant surprise to see this movie. It has a nice blend of action, comedy and a heart warming storyline. This movie tells the story of how caring for a baby turned a pair of bad crooks into good. Action = 9/10 Comedy = 10/10 story = 9/10Overall, I am giving it 9/10. It's almost perfect.Bottom line: Even if you don't care about the storyline and/or don't like it, the movie is still enjoyable.
Latest Jackie Chan film is a wildly overly long (well over 2 hours) comedy action film about a trio of safe crackers who use the loot to fuel their addictions. When things take a turn for the worst the trio kidnaps a baby, the same one that they had saved earlier in the film. When one of the trio is hurt and thrown in jail after the getaway, the remaining two, Jackie Chan and Louis Koo must care for the kid. Of course they bond with the kid and of course circumstance provides for some death defying action sequences.I really didn't care for this film. Sure its nice to see Jackie playing a semi-not so nice guy, but on the whole this is the sort of thing we've seen a dozen or so times before, and I'm not talking action. For me much of the film was past formulaic and into the cliché rut. How many films have their been about grown men with no baby experience taking care of infants? How many of them have gags stolen by this film? As for the action sequences they take a bit of a back seat to the comedy and the baby. Sure there are some nice bits, Jackie walking down the air conditioners and the car chase/crash are good little sequences but they too ring of things that have gone before. It could be argued that Jackie is getting up there, he's 52, but its not that what he's doing is bad its just that its a bit lifeless and repetitive when compared to his earlier films.It also doesn't help that the film is paced so,leisurely that we feel every one of its 130 plus minutes. This is a movie in need of some real trimming.A miss. Wait for cable.4.5 out of 10, 5 out of 10 for IMDb purposes
