Jackie Chan is a tv chef in Australia who inadvertently gets caught up in a Mafia gang's quest to retrieve a video made by a young, female tv reporter.
The action comes thick and fast and the set pieces (Chan's chase through the city on a horse-drawn carriage, the fighting at the building site, including the incredible roll over a rotating circular saw - very Bond!) are immaculate and breath-taking, and the finale, when the house is devastated by a quarry truck is amazing.
So what if they can't all act brilliantly, it didn't detract from the story one bit.
Another great addition to the Jackie Chan collection.

Advantages: Good comedy action scenes, good acting from Chan, pretty entertaining Disadvantages: The story is predictable/formulaic, the acting (apart from Chan) wasn't great, some parts subtitled
