This taut, thrilling, and funny Hong Kong production follows the adventures of notoriously hungry detective Ryu Saeba (Jackie Chan) and his female partner, Kaori (Joey Wong), as...
more...they search for the daughter of a publishing tycoon. In the process, they become involved in a cruise ship hijacking. The film based on a popular Japanese comic strip.

Full review
Based on a popular manga, I was expecting a lot more from this movie. However for those expecting something similar to the manga, will be disappointed as this movie does not really follow it as such.

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.

If your someone who loves lots of fight scenes, slapstick comedy and some brainless fun for an hour or two, then I would recommend this film. But do not expect a strong story line or any intellectual enhancement from ths movie. Its full of cliches and cheesy moments, but also some funny and enjoyable moments.

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.
