Reviews

Los Angeles Times -
May please non-discriminating fans of its co-writer/director/star (and more) Jackie Chan, but will likely leave most other viewers dazed, confused and eagerly watching the clock.

|
The New York Times -
The film is about exotic locations (including a volcano), garish humor (often at the expense of Mr. Chan or women), fisticuffs, stunts and frenetic visual bombast.
|
|
Variety -
Taking more than a dozen credits, including helmer-scribe, Jackie Chan emerges a Jackie-of-all-trades and master of none.
|
|
The Hollywood Reporter -
The kind of mindless, silly romp the multi-hyphenate has become known for.
