About this movie

Jackie Chan stars as Asian Hawk, a master adventurer tasked with retrieving lost bronze heads, originally a part of an ancient Chinese collection of zodiac busts. While wealthy entrepreneur Lawrence (Oliver Platt) dangles an enormous reward for such a find, Hawk deploys his array of high tech devices as he travels the world to help unearth the missing relics. Caught between a monster payday and the restoration of China's past, Hawk jumps into battle, using his death-defying skills to help thwart Lawrence's destructive plans, while hoping to secure the remaining bronze heads before it's too late.

Ratings and reviews

the middle part of this film is very very cool. It's got that good old Goonies treasure hunt feel, worth the watch for that part alone. The end part is classic Jackie Chan fight fest, albeit a bit to long. A lot here for fans, but a very incoherent story, editing and dialogue, makes it a easy one to skip for most i guess.

There is too much going on. The movie only consists of action, albeit Jackie Chan's award winning action. Not much that is worth watching other than that. Also, be warned that this is dubbed to English, which the store doesn't state. The subtitles are all over the place too.

Man ved at i jackie chans film keder man sig aldrig, men her er der ikke meget at komme efter, kedelig og ingen action, meget skuffet stoppede filmen halvejs,, så "sjov" var den.
