Of course I had to sit down and watch this 2023 Jackie Chan action comedy, as I stumbled upon it by random chance on Netflix. Actually, I didn't even know that the movie was out, so it was a nice surprise finding it whilst browsing the Netflix catalogue of movies.
The storyline in "Hidden Strike", as written by Arash Amel, definitely was an archetypical and classic type of movie for Jackie Chan, and as such, then of course he was right at home, doing what he does best. And that definitely was something that made the movie all the more enjoyable.
There is a good amount of action throughout the 102 minutes that the movie ran for, and I have to say that I was definitely entertained throughout the course of the entire movie. And the storyline is spruced up with a fair amount of well-used and timed comedy as well; again, something very archetypical for Jackie Chan movies.
The acting performances in "Hidden Strike" were good. Of course you know what you get with Jackie Chan at the helm, and while I am not overly much a fan of John Cena, he was adequate enough in the movie, though it would have been more enjoyable had they gotten Sylvester Stallone for that part instead, which was the initial plan. And of course having Pilou Asbæk in the movie was good as well.
The action looks good on the screen, as does all the fighting - both hand to hand and firefights.
"Hidden Strike", from director Scott Waugh, is an enjoyable movie, and a good addition to the Jackie Chan catalogue of movies.
My rating of "Hidden Strike" lands on a seven out of ten stars.
