Damn! What a great movie. Solid performances by Chan and Brosnan. Good story. Liked the intrigue as well as the occasional kickassery.

Highly recommend for those who have not seen it.

Liked the movie but Brosnans' accent was over the top and too much for me.

I recommend it as well, I saw it over the weekend and it’s a decent film with a decent plot. Kept me interested for an hour and a half so it’s all good in my book

I feel like the trailers gave off a bit of false advertising. They made you believe it was a Taken-esque movie about a dude looking to avenge his daughter’s death but it actually turned out to pretty much be a political coverup movie with the occasional Jackie Chan beating up people moment.

They made the movie way too convoluted for what it should’ve been.

I saw it in theaters (movie pass days), and it was awful.

Found my non spoiler review

quote:

Movie was terrible Action was decent but few and far between. There is a long intertwined and over complicated plot that mostly has nothing to do with Chans character

. A ton of weird resolutions to those plot lines that are cheesy as hell, anti climatic, and oddly pieced together. There's no payoff villain or victory, atleast not one that feels satisfactory.

Just a weird plot mix of product placement, over complicated back stories, weird political plot, and incest. Yes the incest really brought the entire plot togethe

I’d definitely recommend this one. My brother was over and we decided to watch it, he was against it as soon as he saw Chan was in it, but after it was over he admitted that it was pretty good and way better than the previews made it look.

Pretty damn good movie. Plot was convoluted but it didn’t hurt the movie much.

I enjoyed it. I went in hoping to see a decent action thriller, and it delivered on what I hoped to see.
