Action superstar Jackie Chan (Rush Hour 2, Shanghai Knights) combines his high-flying style with state-of-the-art special effects as he unleashes the power of The Medallion, the film Roger Ebert gives a big "Thumbs Up!"
Chan plays Hong Kong detective Eddie Yang, who works with the beautiful Interpol agent Nicole (Claire Forlani, Love's Kitchen) and the bumbling agent Watson (Lee Evans, Mouse Hunt) to try to rescue a boy from the clutches of the villainous Snakehead (Julian Sands, Ocean's Thirteen). But when a fatal accident ends his life, Eddie is brought back to this world with the help of The Medallion and is supercharged! Now empowered with superhuman strength, Eddie sets out to thwart Snakehead's plan for world domination.

-Garth Franklin, Dark Horizons, November 16, 2003Rotten: It's a lame slapstick actioner in which Jackie Chan lets CGI effects take the heat instead of his arthritic joints.
-Jamie Russell, BBC, November 05, 2003Rotten: Makes you long for Tucker -- and for Jackie Chan to fly without digital wings.
-Owen Gleiberman, Entertainment Weekly, August 27, 2003
Fun fast paced adventure! I enjoyed the story line and the scenery. The actors performed well and I'm a great fan of Jackie Chan's work. I would encourage others to watch this flick.
