Warning: there is flashing effects/colourful effects/suicide/Russia in is this project/shooting/drugs/torture/burning/breaking/electrocution/cutting/medical

What do you want me to do with this film seriously?: Because it is mystery based I will give you the basics; Hong Kong Police Officer Bennie Chan [Jackie Chan] is seeking to bring to justice the individual known as The Matador for being responsible for the death of his partner Hong Kong Police Officer Yung Bai [Eric Tsang] but before his passing he says to Chan "Look after my daughter for me" daughter Samantha Bai [Fan Bingbing] 9 years later Hong Kong Police Officer Chan is still on the case, but eventually he is going to need the help of Connor Watts/other characters [Johnny Knoxville;] which has his own problems involving Dasha [Eve Gracie a.k.a. Eve Torres.]

The frame work and pacing of this 108 minutes film is very much like the rest of this project. It would be okay but, but and but and as you will see there is very little point of me putting things into different sections as I usually do in my content. For some off-putting reason this film can be either okay sensible funny and then cross over into really juvenile comedy and the background music can change to support this now and again; it sticks out like a sore thumb consequently it isn't actually that funny, interesting mind you of everything you will come to dislike about this film.

Like for a great example enthusiastic, fluent, action, comedy and a little bit of art sequence of events. Hong Kong Police Officer Chan vs. Dasha are doing combat, meanwhile Watts is in a nutshell wrapped up unable to move his arms, but can still use his legs and feet, so he tries to escape from these two doing combat; as they want him for their own reasons so in the background we have this going on. But back to this combat sequence now at some point Hong Kong Police Officer Chan Russian Dolls they look eye-catching and detailed; but of course Dasha punches the first big one between these two they go through this sequence of her punching them as they get slowly smaller and smaller and so on. Later in this bigger picture sequence of events; these two characters have a very tiny back and forth about Dasha chest area, because of their size she is unable to fit through this gap which sours sequence a little. Just for the record I am open-minded and not a snowflake, but it just feels like an unnecessary level to go down to the specially after this positive sequence of events.

The character developments and the performances: they are all solid good versions of what they are meant to be and likewise the performances reflect that as it uses the old yet very reliable chemistry of two main characters/lead partnership from two different worlds eventually finding common ground in Hong Kong Police Officer Bennie Chan [Jackie Chan] and Connor Watts/other characters [Johnny Knoxville.]

This film receives: 4/10, this film is mixed; it has lots to offer its viewers just for a quick example there is lots of cultural elements to see and experience from an artistic perspective. But man when this film goes too heavily juvenile it sucks all of the fun out of it and one final thing when the ending credits come down there is bloopers, which not being unkind but true is more funnier than some occasions in this film; here is one blooper to look out for in a basic description; Knoxville is trying to advertise this vehicle Chan and he is in, Chan pick up what he is trying to do [hopefully by selling one of their vehicles, they may give Knoxville one] Chan points out that isn't going to work.
