Jackie tries too hard to be funny, but the film still works: the plot, in which he took some liberties with history, is beautifully shot and coherently finished.

If Jackie Chan character was more serious I would have liked his more. The comedy was bad but I liked most of the action.

Probably the oddest JC movie i've seen, at its heart this is a road trip film and Jackie Chan's charisma really shines in this. This has all his usual trademarked slapstick but there's a bit more of a bittersweet tone than his other films. The action choreography was adequate. What makes this film decent is the simply gorgeous settings and good cinematography. The story is a letdown though. Style over substance but interesting enough.

Very enjoyable, but I kept thinking that it could've been pretty awesome if it had focused on either being funny or serious.
