Reviews for Rush Hour
The plot is typical Tinseltown twaddle, agreeable for the moment, then instantly forgotten.
Not a single thing happens in Rush Hour that you haven't seen before.
Sure, the action's there, along with his trademark amazing physical stunts, but in getting the Hollywood treatment, a great deal of the fun stemming from Chan and his "antics" has been lessened.
