The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful

I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

This movie is amazing. I love it. I love watching Jackie Chan's movies. He is the best actor in the world. He good at martial arts and very funny. He always act in dangerous situations. I can take the eyes of the screen. It is so incredible. I want to see him in other movies. So that I can see with my friends. Rush Hour is fast, funny and Fantastic. It is 2 hours of non stop entertainment. I have seen the sequel, No where near the Classic. Jackie Chan is amazing as the martial arts expert cop from Hong Kong. Chris Tucker is Hilarious as the fast talking cop from America. What happens when two people like this meet, Excitement and entertainment. This is Jackie's Best Hollywood Movie. I have seen a few Chris Tucker movie, this is his Best performance. I hope the third in the series will entertain as the First. If you have not seen this movie, then i recommend this movie. A great action comedy movie for all type of audience to enjoy. One of the best cop buddy movies since Lethal Weapon.

After watching the movie's name "rush hour", I'm just have to say that I'm so impress at the way the director created the story. Every body knows this movie's about a girl whom father's a rich person is kidnapped for money, with the help of 2 inspectors one from LA official and another's HongKong one that can help the girl out of danger situation. Along with the humor and thrilling at the writing style of two main characters by Jackie Chan and Chris Tucker, the movie's become more melody and funny but it's also have some several fight scenes at the same time. About the detail which I impressed most is when the little girl in car and sung a pop song. Well, I think it's so funny and i had had a great time after watching it.On of the highlight in this movie's the way they create character personality. I'm totally interested in the "black" cop. He makes people believed that he's such a wise guy. Some people recommend about him as a negative personality because he doesn't help the case at all, sometime he just makes it more mess.But he's the most important to solve the case, without him the girl can escaped, his partner may gonna be died and so on. In conclusion, I love this movie at the way they ending it. No twist in this case that watcher don't understand, characters's all happy and the most important's it showed that "justice always wins"

This happened to be on cable last night and as I haven't seen it in a very long time I decided to check it out. The film is about a Hong Kong detective played by Jackie Chan,who teams up with a fast-talking FBI agent named Carter played by Chris Tucker(who I swear is the love child of Eddie Murphy btw)to catch the mastermind who kidnapped a 10 year old Chinese girl who ended up being taken by two Chinese guys. So its up to Tucker and Lee to save the little girl from the two baddies. But someone else could be behind it too?Overall I found this film hilarious. The cast was great especially Jackie Chan who is one of my favorite actors as he is an expert at martial arts and Chris Tucker literally stole everything in this movie with his high-pitched voice and his witty persona.The action sequences were great and bottom line I enjoyed it.If you haven't seen it be sure and check it out.

We love Jackie Chan. We have all his movies. But Chris Tucker is just too silly and ruins Jackie's movie. Jackie should have used Will Smith or Eddie Murphy. The silliness detracts from the story. All 3 Rush Hour movies are the same for us, the worst of all Chan's movies, including Jackie's early Chinese work, which at least were consistent in the humor. Tuckers humor is High School clown and does not mesh with Jackie's. He should work with Jack Black or other silly comedians. You can not relate the movie theme to Tuckers off the wall immature humor.I am not saying Chris Tucker is not a good comedian as he has good wit, insight and humor in his own right, It is just he does not fit well with Jackie's self effacing Serious and clean movies. He acts his part seriously and Tucker is just ad-libbing off the wall jokes like he is on a talk show and it just does not fit in the movie. I give the rating 4 out of ten because of Jackie Chan and the other hard working actors doing the best they can while Chris cracks jokes that have nothing to do with the movie.
