Advantages: Jackie Chan

Disadvantages: Tries to be a hollywood movie, it's not

"Mr Nice Guy" it sucks, I wish I could leave the review at that but for the sake of humanity I have to ghive you a good reason why you should never waste 2 hours of you life on this no hope drivel. Jackie Chan has got to be my second favourite martial arts movie star, after Bruce Lee, with his lightning fast reactions and comedy motion he is a great actor to watch. The movie has him as a chef who through some twist of fate has to get chased and brought into many fights, to protect those close to him. The action scenes are quick and have a lot of comedy content, though the dialogue is tedious and slow occassionally sounding like a voice over.

Sammo Hung Kam-Bo directs this movie and it seems he has tried to make a fun movie series so that it resembles Beverly Hills Cop but the diference being that BHC was actually amusing and di not take as much effort to watch.

Richard Norton plays the villain Giancarlo, and quite a sloppy weak villian he is as well with his once more useless bodygaurds who would make better ice cream van drivers than gunmen.

The plot line is drab, though some of the fighting scenes are amusing and not to be taken seriously, and the music is ok.

I may be being a little harsh on jackie here but I did not find this film a good watch, you might.
