I went in the movie thinking it was some big shot Hollywood movie, boy was I wrong!

For a 100min movie, it fails to write up a good backstory for chan and Cena.

The plot is nonsensical and the acting sub-par. Infact so sup-bar it was funny at times.

Not gonna lie, the only thing I enjoyed was chan and Cena's duo performance.

Furthermore, the story has no soul, and jackie chans acrobatic performance carried the movie to a 6 from a 4.

IMDB says Stallone was supposed to be with chan instead of Cena. That would've been a career disaster.

Watchable, but only at home when you can spare an hour and a half.

Do You remember all these B-side strange ones from 80's? Like American Ninja IV and all the other no brainers from long time ago when You watched movies from VHS?

Well, this movie is exactly like these ones. So plain stupid, so badly acted, but all in all same fun. Chan and Cena are chinese and american operating in Iraq, where local people are basically some second grade background people who are not able to do anything by themselves without two major countries.

Some actionsequences are so boldly drawn it makes you cringe and laugh in the same time. Romantic line is plain stupid, rocket-truck is there for reckoning and Jackie Chan and some crazy fudgehead Knox are fighting in bathfoam.

Utterly unbelievable chinese production. But, hell, it was fun as hell also.

I was very doubtful before going in. But somehow ended up going anyways. What followed was two hours of bore fest with 10 minutes of content which may have been somewhat enjoyable.(spread out through the movie ).

I hope this review will help anyone who is deciding whether to go to the cinema and watch it. The answer is a hard NO! Dont waste your your money and time going to watch this.

Here is a quick recap,

Unrealistic meaningless story. Extremely poorly written without any attention to detail.

CGI is BS. Bad camera movements. Bad action sequences. The talent of the actors were not utilized by the director.

Cinematography? Whats that??

Grand visuals? Whats that?

Good car chases? Nope. Physics does not exist in this world.

Poor sound design.

Poor story pacing.

Poor everything.

The good?

A few good jokes and 5-10 minutes of acceptable cinema.

So avoid at all costs unless you just don't care and don't mind watching poor cinema.
