Watchable, but won't win the martial arts star any new fans . . .

Shows that Jackie Chan is getting older, and that's something I would rather live in denial about

Exhilarating, funny and fun.

A little less extreme than in the past, with longer exposition sequences between them, and with fewer gags to break the tedium.

Watching the mild-mannered salesman Jackie Chan attempt to solve his father's unfinished business is a lot of fun.

Hilarious action scenes and great stunts. The plot was a little bit rushed and shoddily done. The characters do not add to the story or have chemistry with one another, poor acting from everyone.
