I really have no idea why there are so many nay sayers here criticising this film?! This is pure fun and old school action, the sort of unimportant movie that is pure enjoyment. Jackie and Johnny together at last! In a stress free and brilliantly choreographed film these guys shine. Stunts that are brilliant and locations that are wonderful. Seriously, what's the problem?!If you cannot enjoy this film there's something wrong with you! Stick to the regular takes itself seriously bs because these guys are very clever and a lot of fun... ENJOY!!!

View MoreREVIEW - SKIPTRACE hmmmm a weird nane for a film especially a Jackie Chan film but as always Jackie delivers with fights, stunts, humour and this time actually a good buddy crime story with a little twist that even I wasn't expecting at the end.Thoroughly enjoyed this film as I always do with Jackie Chan films so if you've got nothing better to do and what some enjoyable movie watching then you won't go far wrong with Jackie Chan.
... View More3/10. Jackie Chan and Johnny Knoxville team up to catch an elusive criminal. Let's start off by saying I really love Jackie Chan, although a lot of his movie are very cheesy they are still worth watching for the fight scenes and stunt work. However this film is very sad, to see him getting old and struggling to do any decent stunts. Some of the fight scenes were still fun but very lacking, I think he really needs to change to a different style of film now to suit his age, he is 62. Knoxville was fine in the supporting role, but nothing special. Renny Hardin as director could have done a much better job here, with films to his name like Die Hard 2 and Cliffhanger, I would have expected more. Don't bother seeing this film, it just made me sad to see Jackie too old for this kind of movie now, and will make you sad too if you are a Jackie fan.

... View MoreI was really expecting a lot from a new Jackie Chan movie because his past work has been terrific to say the least. But the directing and cinematography spoiled the movie for me. It was jarring to watch and it was pretty hard to follow their movements in the movie. Too much disconnected scenes also spoils it for me, like they don't know how to transition between scenes. Jackie Chan was his usual self with all the humor and has the same good performance as in his past movies. Johnny Knoxville is also good but isn't great, but better than the awful performance of Garrett Hedlund in Pan ( I know they are unrelated movies but I'm just comparing general actor performances). I really wish Jackie Chan would make more movies in future but not spoil it by hiring bad directors and cinematographers, and put a bit more effort on the story, as it has a bit of a hint of cliché.
