I Love Jackie Chan
Jackie Chan and Chris Tucker head for the City of Lights in the somewhat
threadbare but sporadically exciting Rush Hour 3, the second sequel to
director Brett Ratners 1998 cop-buddy hit. Chans Inspector Lee and
Tuckers Detective Carter hop from Los Angeles to Paris in pursuit of a
Chinese triad only to find a mixed reception, including a brutal warning
from a French cop (Roman Polanski) and anti-American sentiments from a
cab driver (Yvan Attal) who eventually becomes an important and funny
ally. Lee and Carter, when not fighting their way out of rooms full of martial
arts gangsters and crazed assassins (Sun Ming Ming), follow a trail to a
beautiful woman (Noemie Lenoird) who literally carries a vital clue on her
person. Lee also holds secret meetings with a United Nations authority
(Max Von Sydow), but his personal struggles with a criminal mastermind
(Hiroyuki Sanada)--who happens to be an important figure in his life—are
at the heart of this movie. The aging Chan still seems to defy the laws of
physics with some of his more spectacular stunts. But its true those stunts
take a little more time than they used to, and judicious editing makes Chan
look spry as ever. He frets charmingly in Rush Hour 3, while Tucker
revives his brash characters motormouth guile and whiny womanizing.
There isnt a lot left to be discovered about Lee and Carters compatibility,
and even with a minor crisis over their loyalty to one another in Rush Hour
3, their all-important relationship is almost too easy to take for granted
now. Fortunately, the films biggest thrills come from several wild fight
scenes, especially a climactic battle on the Eiffel Tower that is rich in
imagination. --Tom Keogh
This is another good movie in the series. I watch it many times. Jackie is
so cute and funny. Chris Tucker is too. But my heart is with Jackie as I
have many of his movies and like them all.
