Advantages: Great Fight scenes, some comedy moments Disadvantages: Weak Plot, Dissapointing
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.

Advantages: Jackie Chan on a skateboard Disadvantages: Cartoon feel at the start isnt funny
The start of the film has a cartoon like opening where his partner died (after the pretend fighting sequence and the "pow" and such signs when they punch/kick) and left his daughter in jackies care.
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 ...
