Arianna Moses Let me be very fair here, this is not the best movie in my opinion. But, this movie is fun, it has purpose and is very enjoyable to watch.

Philippa All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.

Uriah43 After watching his partner being killed a Hong Kong detective named "Bennie Chan" (Jackie Chan) vows to take care of the detective's daughter, "Samantha Bai" (Bingbing Fan) while at the same time pursuing the drug lord who killed him. This pursuit leads him to a con-man by the name of "Connor Watts" (Johnny Knoxville) who is wanted by both the Russian mafia and the same Chinese drug kingpin responsible for the death of Inspector Chan's partner. Unfortunately, Connor has no intention of testifying against anyone and desires above everything else to escape detection and apprehension by all of the parties involved. To make matters worse, the Russians have sent their best assassin named "Dasha" (Eve Torres) to bring back Connor which creates even more problems for the two of them. Now rather than reveal any more I will just say that I didn't think this was one of better Jackie Chan movies. For starters, I didn't particularly care for the casting of Eve Torres as a Russian gangster. It was just too odd. Likewise, the partnership between Jackie Chan and Johnny Knoxville seemed equally artificial and ingenuine. That being said, I have rated this film accordingly. Slightly below average.

Yaroslav Zaitsev (yarik83) Jackie has announced long ago that he would stop filming kung fu style movies. After all he is already 62 as of writing of this message. The man has given us 4 long decades of high flying, high profile, death defying self stunt magnificence. But audience just can't let go... let the man be... he is old... injured many times over. Let him enjoy the other genres. This movie was not about fighting, most certainly not. This movie was about showing magnificence of mongolia and china alike through cinematic and cultural traditions. This movie literally gave everything it had to give. Sure sure... this could have been a remake of rush hour... but that time has passed and Johnny is the new kid on the block. Their on screen chemistry is pretty good and while premise of the movie was silly some of the times... well most of the time... and while acting was cheesy and characters were unbelievable... it was not about that. It was about 2 men going on a cross country trip by plane, train, automobile, on foot on a raft, in a weird looking car, on top of a donkey, by mule, clinging to a pig float and generally giving us sides of mongolia and china that we normally do not see. I give this movie a well deserving 6. It could have gotten a 10, have they stripped all the irrelevant mumbo jumbo from beginning and the end. This movie would have been a success just showing a road trip.

Hellmant 'SKIPTRACE': Three and a Half Stars (Out of Five)The new Chinese-American action-comedy buddy film, starring Jackie Chan and Johnny Knoxville. It was directed by Renny Harlin, and written by Jay Longino, BenDavid Grabinski and Wen-Chia Chang. The film tells the story of a Hong Kong detective, that's forced to team up with an American gambler; in order to stop a Chinese crime boss. The movie also costars Bingbing Fan (a popular Chinese actress and pop singer), Eve Torres (a popular WWE wrestler, model and a Brazilian jiu-jitsu fighter) and Eric Tsang. The movie received mostly poor reviews from critics, but it was a blockbuster at the Chinese Box Office. I enjoyed it.Bennie Chan (Chan) is a Hong Kong detective, that's been pursuing a Chinese crime boss, known as 'Matador', for many years. He became obsessive about the case, when the notorious criminal killed his partner, Yung (Tsang). Bennie believes that a businessman, named Victor Wong (Winston Chao), is the 'Matador', but he doesn't have the evidence he needs to prove it. When Yung's daughter (Fan) gets in trouble with the crime boss, for letting an American gambler, named Connor Watts (Knoxville), steal from her, Bennie must track the gambler down in order to help her. Bennie and Connor then reluctantly team up, and of course bond on their new adventure.The movie is everything you'd expect from a Jackie Chan buddy movie; it's reminiscent of 'RUSH HOUR' and 'SHANGHAI NOON', but not quite as good. Knoxville is great playing the comic relief, in action buddy flicks like this (he also did it in 2004's 'WALKING TALL', and 2013's 'THE LAST STAND'), and he and Chan have great chemistry together; it would have been interesting to see Sean William Scott in the role too though (who Knoxville replaced). Renny Harlin is of course very qualified to direct this type of movie as well, and he does a good job. It's a fun movie; not great, but fun.Watch our movie review show 'MOVIE TALK' at: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2GhHTPB4y30

Reno Rangan This has been done in Hollywood a decade ago, which is now considered as outdated, but Hong Kong and Chinese are doing it now. What I meant was Jackie Chan teaming up with an American star. Though all those films are almost same, like running and chasing and stunts with the comedic sense. Yep, totally boring, nothing new it it, except different locations and the cast. The Russians addition was new, but in the end it became a joke. That's funny to say, because it is a comedy film.If you are familiar with Jackie Chan's Hollywood films, then you already know the 90 per cent of this film and for the rest, you have to watch it. A cop from Hong Kong seeking a revenge for his partner's death, so now he has to find and rescue the American con man who stuck with the Russias gangster for the evidence he needed to put the criminal gang boss behind the bar. The adventurous journey they take across the Mongolia is what the film is based on.This film is specially made for the yuan market, so don't bother if you don't carry yuan in your wallet. Maybe Renny Harlin's worst film I've ever seen. Jackie Chan is the only reason to watch it, but surely you have seen better films of his than this. Johnny Knoxville was just okay and the rest of the cast does not look good. Rewatching 'Shanghai Noon' and 'Rush Hours' films is better than this, so I'm not in favour of it.4/10
