Ryo (Jackie Chan) is paid to locate the daughter of his employer. He finds her on a ship, which is hijacked by terrorists, and Jackie must save the girl and the day. Its not exactly a unique storyline or a strong plot. But provides plenty of oppertunity for Jackie to show us his skills.

There are some great fight scenes and comedy moments, but its one of those movies easily forgotten. Its a film that a Jackie Chan fan would perhaps enjoy. But not Jackie's best work.
Advantages: Advantages? well what can i say its just a brilliant movie Disadvantages: none I guess

Advantages: Jackie Chan on a skateboard Disadvantages: Cartoon feel at the start isnt funny

The main story - Terrorists took over an ocean liner and with the help of his dead friends daughter and an undercover agent, he has to try and stop them.
There are plenty of women featured in this movie and jackie seems to fall under the spell of most ...
