Crow film reviews
Rush Hour
(Dir: Some bloke, 1998 US) Comedy thriller
After years of trying to make the crossover from Hong Kong action star to US hero, Jackie Chan has finally managed it with this formulaid but enjoyable comedy thriller. It's a by-the-numbers affair with Chan as a Hong Kong detective seeking a kidnapped child in LA. Chris Tucker is the wise ass cop who's assigned as his partner. Tom Wilkinson (looking like he's walked in from another movie) is sorely wasted as the villain of the piece. However, this is good entertainment with Chan delivering some jaw-dropping stunts. ***
