For never-do-well compulsive gambler Fong, there's only one thing more fearsome than debtors at his doorstep - having to coax a crying baby. But what if the baby becomes his golden goose to fend off his debtors? Can he overcome his phobia of diapers, milk bottles, and cloying lullabies?

Its sad to see Jackie with make up on to try and make him look younger! His face look so stretched...like many of Jackies post Police Story (1985) movies, it seems as if he is trying too many facets in his character. Whilst he maybe showing a certain ability to act, I found the story going from comedy to action movie to drama to be a bit too much. Jackie CAN act though thats for certain. Jackie stars alongside Louis Koo (Election) and Michael Hui (Cannonball Run)as a team of burglars who somehow get mixed up in a family feud involving a baby, a father driven mad by the loss of his fanatical son, Inspector Steve (Yuen Biao), relationship issues, and a loopy wife who carries a doll. Entwined in all of this is Jackies trademark action, still ever impressive after all these years.

People know Jackie Chan as Drunken Master. They know him as a crime fighting hero who always has to put the innocent before him. Rob B Hood is Jackie Chan as a robber who works with his partner and his boss. This movie was excellent from Jackie's amazing scenes to his amazing comedy in acting. After watching this film, I was stunned with how sad it mad me. To describe this movie very shortly is saying... ...imagine a world when Jackie Chan is an evil robber who turns into a caring person for a young infant. He has to "mother" to a young little boy with his crime committing friend. In the end, this film has a very good ending, not a pish posh ordinary one. Reference: Check out the movie, Tsotsi. Rob B Hood and Tsotsi are very much alike with life growing experiences.

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.

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.
