User Review

Cut the wires!

Rating: 2/10

What a shame to see Jackie Chan's talents wasted with a bunch of kung fu
wires to leap in the air with. The whole joy of watching his movies is the
sheer talent and relentless energy he demonstrates while doing all of his
own stunts. Leave the wires to those who really need
them.
