An average movie

By now, I have seen pretty much all the US productions starring Jackie Chan and, honestly, most of them are pretty disappointing. Even the 'Rush Hour' franchise was nothing great in my opinion and the fact that the last installment was quite a flop suggests that I wasn't the only one thinking that way. There is one exception though. Indeed, even though the "Rush hour" movies are more popular and succesfull, I actually enjoyed more the "Shanghai" flicks. Indeed, even though the whole thing sounded quite silly on paper and Westerns are terribly unpopular nowadays, those flicks were actually quite enjoyable, at least I thought that they were quite entertaining. Obviously, this sequel was slightly more underwhelming than the first one, it was still not bad at all and Owen Wilson and Jackie Chan remain a very good combo. To move the action to England was not really a great idea, but, surprisingly, the plot while still being really silly, was still entertaining enough. It is actually quite a shame that Owen Wilson doesn't do more action comedies like this one. Anyway, to conclude, even though it is nothing amazing whatsoever, I still think it is worth a look, especially if you're only looking for some mindless entertainment.
