Jackie Chan hasn't really done an American movie in some time. He did "Skiptrace" which wasn't released in theaters, and quite frankly was pretty bad. When I saw the trailer for this movie I was excited, however like a lot of movies nowadays,the trailer makes the movie better than it actually is.
Chan plays "Quan" who loses his daughter in a terrorist bombing. He is of course heartbroken and the only thing he now wants is to know who and why this bombing took place. This is where we meet Pierce Brosnan's character "Liam" who is the head of some type of British government official but is from Ireland.
Quan starts to play around with Liam and his men because Quan believes Liam knows exactly who is responsible for the bombing. These scenes are the best part of the movie because even at 60 years old, Chan is still a bad**** on screen. The fight scenes are few and far between and they aren't your typical Jackie Chan fights. They are short and brutal which makes sense for his character but disappointing because I wanted more.
The "surprise" ending isn't that hard to figure out and it left me wanting a little more. Chan is obviously the best part of this movie and I wish the focus was more on him and his character than Brosnan's Liam. A decent action thriller that fans of Jackie Chan can appreciate.
5.5/10
