Movie Reviews of The Accidental Spy
Movie Review: A fun film, filmed in various countries, fun!
Summary: 4 Stars
The film is about Jackie Chan's character who is trying to find his father. He is told that his father is a man from Korea who is dying and appears to be a bad guy. Typical of Jackie Chan movies is the beautiful cop and an adventure that takes you from Hong Kong to Korea to Turkey. Also, you get an introduction to one of the most popular Asian actresses in the East, Vivian Tsu (Taiwan and Japanese pop singer/actress).
This movie is way better than "Who Am I?" and the acting is much better as well.
As for the movie, the audio is fantastic via DTS and the video is beautiful as well but unfortunately not anamorphic. As for special features, there is a pretty cool making of featurette but unfortunately it is not subtitled in English.
Otherwise a solid movie for Jackie Chan and much better than "Rumble in the Bronx", "Who Am I?" and other movies of his that may be distributed internationally.
Summary of The Accidental Spy
Coming right off the explosive success of RUSH HOUR and SHANGHAI NOON, action superstar Jackie Chan now delivers even more big-screen thrills! This time, Jackie Chan rises to the occasion in a fun-filled story about an ordinary guy about to kick into an action-packed adventure! Jackie plays a bored and unsuccessful salesman who never thought his life would amount to anything. All that changes one day when he becomes an instant hero by foiling an attempted bank robbery. But his newfound fame uncovers an even bigger surprise: Jackie is actually the latest in a long line of professional spies! Then, as he travels to Turkey to meet the father he's never known, Jackie becomes entangled in a web of mystery and deceit that only he can unravel! Hilarious and endlessly thrilling, THE ACCIDENTAL SPY delivers everything you expect from big-screen favorite Jackie Chan!Jackie Chan returns to dazzling form! If you've watched Chan's Hollywood movies (Rush Hour, Shanghai Noon) and been unimpressed, The Accidental Spy is a good introduction to the astonishing fights and extraordinary stunts that make Chan's Hong Kong films such events. Chan plays an exercise-equipment salesman who turns out to be the missing son of a Korean double agent who's connected with drug lords in Turkey who have developed a super-addictive opium--got all that? The plot is largely nonsensical, a series of implausible escapades that frame the action; but what the movie lacks in logic, it makes up for in spectacle, ranging from a burning runaway truck cascading off a bridge to a stark-naked Chan pursued by thugs in a Turkish bazaar, defending himself with every implement in sight. This is why Jackie Chan is the biggest movie star in the world--check it out. --Bret Fetzer
