Jackie Chan stars as a Hong Kong detective who teams up with an American gambler to battle against a criminal kingpin known as the Matador.
While I thought this movie has a little bit of reminiscence to the Rush Hour movies, it has limited action and humor (except from some attempts at slapstick comedy) and the plot drags somewhat.
The acting wasn't bad and there are some surprises and twists and turns to the storyline; however, the movie could have used more emphasis on the criminal organization plot device and the detective's partner's daughter relation to the mob. Overall, though, it's OK entertainment - always nice to see Jackie Chan do his wild stunts.
Grade C-
