Fun, Not Good, But Fun. There is more wrong here than right, but it has a fun tone and a lot of action. Jackie Chan is Always fun to watch regardless of the vehicle. This is true even as he ages, and even as the project is not great. He is fun here. John Cena is larger than life. This is part of the charm and appeal of the pairing; however, it is also part of the problem. He is too animated for what should be a more serious tone to this action thriller. The special effects are good, although too much computer generation at times. The fights are decent. Always something interesting with Jackie Chan. There is a problem with the balance of violence here. There is a lot of violence but there is a real aversion to killing which doesn't really fit the otherwise violent tone. There is stuff here for young people, but many missed opportunities for sure.
