Movie Review

Grade: B+ If anyone tells me that Rush Hour is a better movie than Rumble in the Bronx, I'll kick their ---. And especially if anyone says that Rush Hour is a better Jackie Chan movie than Rumble in the Bronx, I'll have to check their sanity, because there is a big difference between a Jackie Chan movie and a movie that stars Jackie Chan. Thankfully, ninety percent of the movies with Jackie Chan in them are Jackie Chan movies, but his two most recent films, both American-made films, Rush Hour and Shanghai Noon, are anything but. Thankfully, we don't have to sit through the horrible dubbing, but we do have to put up with less action and more comedy from American co-stars. Read the full movie review
