Same old same old After the latest Police Story, I would have hoped Jackie would wean himself off these Armor of God type hocus pocus fantasies, where the far-fetched story lines just begs to be punctured with common sense.
Anti-gravity was set up enough for the payoff in the end. But then, what about the immortality -- poor princess has to eat right?
The run through India-- well, we want to sell this to Bollywood so let's add in some nice Indian tatas and choreograph a di rigeur chase through the crowds. If we cut this out and work in the expository dialog elsewhere, it would not affect the story== That's the mark of redundant events.
The action is good. The same. But good. There is now a healthy dollop of CGI and blue-screening . . . oh Jackie, if you are reading this-- keep the plot simple. Keep the characters complex. And you are on your way to joining De Niro.
