It's light on plot and character, but the stunts are well staged.

Top CriticFor once a film's ad line has a whiff of truth about it: 'No Fear. No Stuntman. No Equal.'

Top CriticIt's not often you find a movie as exciting and awful as Rumble in the Bronx.

Top CriticUnlike most action stars, Chan understands acting. His face is as flexible as his body, and, when he's moving, he's like a violent, supercharged combination of Gene Kelly, Fred Astaire, and Buster Keaton.

Top CriticAn awkward hybrid of Asian and American film techniques.

Top CriticMore than a martial arts whiz, the 41-year-old Chan possesses the comic timing of a born clown, the grace of a Broadway hoofer and the daredevil bravado of an Evel Knievel.
