Summary: WHERE HAVE I SEEN THIS BEFORE?!
Jackie Chan seemed to have gone down hill from about '92 or '93, all his movies were getting worse and worse. This one was not really his fault I suppose, but he should not have gone ahead with it.

There are enough reveiws to get the basic story, but what I want to add is that fact that why was is when Jackie met Jackie, there was not much suprise?! If you suddenly saw someone staring at you who looked identical, what would you do? Would you casually carry on with your life, would you play a trick on your girlfriend to make her think it is you when it is really your brother? HELL NO. But this is what happens. That one part alone makes this loose face.

True the action is pretty good, but lets face it, that is really all Jackie can do. I remember being disapointed in both Maggie Cheung and Nina Li too, because I usually tend to like their movies, but they were not good here at all.

I don't mean to put people down like this, or turn people off from buying some of these, but there are so many Hong Kong movies that are awful. I mean let's face it, the best work was done in the 70's and 80's, then all the good ideas had been taken. Ever since then, especially with Jackie Chan, it's been rip off after rip off after rip off of other movies.

Rating (out of 5): 2 (only because the action is good)

(This rating is based on the year & genre, so don't think it's based as a comparison on new releases etc.)
