Detektyw Bennie Black (Jackie Chan) od lat depcze po piętach szefowi chińskiej mafii Victorowi Wongowi. Kiedy jednak mafia grozi jego pięknej siostrzenicy Bai, misja Blacka nabiera zdecydowanie bardziej osobistego charakteru. By ją uratować, detektyw musi wytropić i sprowadzić do Hong Kongu amerykańskiego hazardzistę Connora Wattsa (Johnny Knoxville). Wyrusza więc w niebezpieczną i obfitującą w zabawne przygody wyprawę, która wiodła będzie przez ośnieżone góry Mongolii po smagane wiatrem wydmy pustyni Gobi. (Cineman)

I'll be a bit more generous because Jackie Chan probably can't fully disappoint me. With Johnny Knoxville, he created a classic comedy duo that doesn't really leverage their differences much; they're not groundbreaking in that regard. The action scenes are still good though; here I felt again that Jackie doesn't age.

I watched and liked Jackie Chan when his action movies were hot, but then I started to discover Asia (South Korea, Thailand, Hong Kong, Indonesia) and better fighters with better action came along. Jackie has always had action scenes combined with humor and nowadays I don't find that too much to my liking. After the amount of rough, violent and brutal fights I've seen, Jackie's action seems infantile and uninteresting, which goes beyond me. Skiptrace is okay, it makes you smile at times, as for the story and action, I'm not satisfied. Pure average. 50%.

A debacle that just doesn’t work. The local scenery is fine, but you can watch a documentary to see the natural beauty and traditional dances of China without Knoxville annoying you. The days of Jackie’s best stunts are probably over and he doesn’t show any of his contortionist tricks here. So the action scenes don't offer anything at all. The jokes aren’t funny and the screenplay is too full of clichés. On top of that, it seems that Harlin had a misunderstanding with the composer, because the music doesn’t fit in with any of the scenes.

It’s not good. Jackie Chan put himself into a position where he is deeply respected in China and thinks that he can get away with anything internationally. The combo with Johnny Knoxville could, under different circumstances, be amazing if it wasn’t shot like a video manual for how to make a bad movie. Apart from the first action scene, the whole movie was absolutely terrible, and I wondered if it was worth watching till the end. Terrible, horrible! Trust me that the B rated action movie The Dukes of Hazzard was on a completely different level than this. And I admit that it’s a pity.

Story-wise, it's definitely not a great story, in fact the opposite, I would say. However, thanks to attractive locations, occasional flashes of humor and the likeable central duo of Jackie Chan and Johnny Knoxville, this movie is still watchable. (50%)
