    Don't expect a Chan 90s movie, honestly or was a Pierce Brosnan lead movie. After getting over the Irish accent, Brosnan was a badass in his role. Chan was pretty emotional in his role, I enjoyed it, just don't expect an all action 90s Chan movie cause you'd be disappointed.

    At 63, I can't see him doing his thing for more than 5 minutes, let alone an hour and a half

    That's a total fail by me

    For some reason I'll always see him for not being Bond, but the guy on Mrs. Doubtfire

    Yeah, but strangely there are a lot of critics saying he goes too over the top, and then the accent calms down later in the film.

    Good movie. Nothing special, but it did it's job of entertaining for a couple hours. I kept thinking Brosnan's nephew was the guy from Kick-Ass.

    It's like Asian Taken, but they decided to focus on the ****ing boring ass IRA plot instead + show a woman being choked during interrogation.
