Very best movie i ever watch

Absolutely Brilliant!

This is a dark and sometimes deeply uncomfortable drama

It is a whirlwind of delight --- attractive actors, stunning couture, spectacular sets and outrageous parties. It's a feast for the eyes. But what really makes this dramedy work is the acting.

Review: This film was awful! The acting was terrible, along with the badly written script and the storyline was ridiculous. Its about 3 small-time robbers who take on one last job after losing all of there hard earned loot. Jackie Chan plays Thongs, whose the compulsive gambler out of the group and Louis Koo plays Octopus who likes living the lavish life but soon runs out of cash. The last member of the group Michael Hui (Landlord), saves his loot but it all gets stolen from his house so he convinces his partners in crime to take on a big job, to steal a baby for a big time crime boss. The baby turns out to be his grandson and after losing his son at the beginning of the movie, he wants the only connection to his son that is left. Whilst kidnapping the baby, Landlord gets captured by the police so the other members of the gang decide to wait for him to be released before they go ahead with the deal. The crime boss starts to get impatient and he sends out his thugs to retrieve the baby and kill the kidnappers. While all this is going on, the police is hot on the robbers tail because of there bad reputation as small time criminals. Anyway, Thongs and Octopus become close to the cute little baby and they decide that the babies safety is worth more than the hefty payday. As usual, the action scenes were impressive but the comedic storyline and weak acting was pretty poor. You can tell that it was made for the Western market because of its funky soundtrack and modern look but I found it to be more silly than entertaining. The baby is extremely cute and I can completely understand why these small time crooks got close to him but the far fetched action scenes contributed to this lengthy, poor movie. Anyway, I didn't enjoy the movie that much but the action scenes weren't too bad. Disappointing!Round-Up: This movie was directed by Benny Chan who brought you the great Shaolin, in 2011. He also directed Who Am I, which also starred Jackie Chan and Big Bullet, Gen-X Cops, New Police Story, Divergence, Invisible Target, Connected, City Under Siege and the White Storm. I'm not familiar with a lot of his other projects but he does have a high reputation in the Oriental market. I didn't find the comedy in this movie that funny and it did seem to drag after a while but the director did introduce other elements which made it barely watchable. At the end of the day, it's just another comedy based action movie from Jackie Chan but on the plus side, it did make back it's money at the box office so there's obviously an audience for these type of movies.Budget: $17million Worldwide Gross: $20.5millionI recommend this movie to people who are into their action/comedy/drama movies with there usual Jackie Chan epic stunts and a Three Men and a baby type concept. 3/10

This Movie I Can't Really Tell You How It's Wonderful... It's (20 Out OF 10)..I Can Watch It 1000000 Times Again...Jackie Chan Is A Great Actor & I Love Him Very Much & I Didn't Except Such Movie From Him...This One Is Different From All His Other Movies..Really Awesome Movie..Great Story..In A Part Of The Film,I cried Bec. There SomeThing Bad Going To Happen...I Advice You:You Musssssssssssst See That Movie..Iam From Egypt,I Didn't Understand Their Language & Watched The Film With Subtitles But Although IT WAS A Wonderful MOVIE...I Really Can't Express My Feeling Towards That Film For You..I Loved Jackie Chan More & Moreeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee.A Really Great Movie.You Can Get Subtitles From (WWW.MTSUBTITLES.COM).

I have to say that this movie was lots of fun ^^ I laughed so much at it :) It definitely is one of Jackie Chan's movies , and though some people say that Jackie's movies have decreased a lot recently (regarding the content of the movie ...plot bla bla) in my opinion it hasn't because I think a movie it's not all about the complexity of the action and the plot's originality and the way in which it makes you uncertain of what's going to happen next. In my opinion a good movie must be able to capture the viewer's interest and make him concentrate on the action so much that he doesn't start to wander "oh what's going to happen next?" or to say "ah yes and now's another happy ending" . I mean when I watched the movie I was so busy laughing and paying attention to what's happening that I didn't care about the plot like "yea baby is kidnapped by bad men who eventually turn into good men and bla bla save the day" So what I'm trying to say is that the movie is worth viewing as long as you don't really care about the story and only care about laughing and paying attention to all the funny fighting scenes that Jackie always makes . I love those the most in his movies ^^

I just saw this movie and I felt some other user comments were a little unfair. I really enjoyed Jackie's latest efforts and it was great to see Jackie and Yuen Biao back together on screen. The sad thing is I can't help but feel the character of the Landlord should've been Sammo Hung.......It had the potential to be a "3 brothers" film. Its true to say Jackie is slowing down although I detected perhaps only one piece of wire work in a scrap in his apartment (typically full of gadgets, split levels and sliding doors) there were more wires used in "The Myth".I watched the extended edition (I'm a Chanorak, what can I say) I don't think it drags at all. There's about 3 big fight sequences (One bad guy at the end looks like Mars - I wonder if he's his son? Perhaps one gag was taken from a fight in a filmed called "Rosa" with Yuen Biao and Tik Wei.) It also features a superb chase with an SUV, an armoured bank truck, a moped and a sedan. Jackie is back on form at the climax of this scene as he rescues the baby from being squished more than once at the last minute.Overall: worth seeing - I'm guessing it won't get released in the UK for a while if ever. Its quirky humour is very Asian. UK fans - I reckon you'll have to buy this from Hong Kong or somewhere in the East - if this ever gets to the UK it will be sliced to bits by the distributors - thats if it gets passed the Politically Correct Brigade - "Ooh you can't do that to a baby!!!" There is one scene - I won't say what it is, but my brother and I felt that it was a bit much given the thing in the UK news about off duty firemen and their camera phones - its to do with laundry - when you see it you'll know what I mean.
