Customer Reviews of Jackie Chan Is the Prisoner
Enter at your own risk This movie is not what you'd expect at all, and unfortunately I don't mean that in a good way. All of the characters (and there are a lot of them) have small roles, and there's no visible plot at all-which isn't unusual for Hong Kong Cinema; however, there's usually some kind of direction a HKC film will travel in, but in this case, it was just Sammo Hung, Jackie Chan, and Andy Lau among others acting out and simply redoing scenes from every prison movie you've ever seen. While redoing Hollywood ideas is business as usual for Hong Kong Cinema, the Cantonese usually put a different spin on what they take. No such luck in this film. An experienced movie goer will recognize scenes from Bad Boys with Sean Penn, Shawshank Redemption with Tim Robins, and especially Cool Hand Luke with Paul Newman, but that's as far as it goes. There are a few good fight scenes and some other elements that keep it going, but overall, if you have a choice between this film and something else, you'd probably be better off with something else. The end itself was unusual to an extreme, and while this film will probably be fine for a hardcore Jackie Chan follower, the last 10 minutes will leave them more than a little surprised. I rated this film 3 stars only because I'm a Sammo buff, and his escape scene involving the guard dog made worthwhile (for me anyway) the...rental fee I paid to see it. Still, I don't think this film will be on many top ten lists.
Another EXCITING Honk Kong Film!!!!!
Here, you see many BIG NAMES in ONE~!!! They are ALL BIG HONG KONG MOVIE STARS and such a treat to see them all. If you are NEW to Jackie Chan, he is a master of an art. He can play comedy, bad guy, serious, silly, action, drama, and EVERYTHING in between. If you are too spoiled by Hollywood action movie with big budget to ruin the true action stars does it all, you MUST see this film. Hong Kong people are the BEST at showing you a REAL action film. THUMBS UP~!!!!!!!
NOT A JACKIE CHAN MOVIE
Not a bad movie for this genre, but the title of the movie ("Jackie Chan is the Prisoner") is a Big Fat Lie. This is not a Jackie Chan movie -- he's just one of many in the cast. Maybe it's naive to let such bold face lying (marketing) bother me, but it still does. We got the movie, actually believing that it was what Columbia/Tristar Studios promised it would be ...
