Amiable film which coasts on Jackie Chan's presence and great interplay between the two leads. Not much actually occurs in the film but it's a breezy joy to watch and it's easily Chan's best performance in decades. "

Jackie Chan. Then I expected good actionsequences with funny and action-packed fighting style. This is not what I got at all. Some scenes, yeah, but for the most part of the movie he ran around scared and was basically a chicken! This is not what Chan is at his best. An ok story make this a little more memorable movie, but not so much that I would recommend it! And here with 8 stars (when 9 people had voted on it), I will say it's overrated!
