Cape Argus / The Star Munyaradzi Vomo Jackie Chan is still as funny as ever, but sadly, the scriptwritter is not | 5 | |
Die Burger Paul Boekkooi Futlose spioenasie een groot beproewing | 5 | |
Box Office Wade Major Chan saves the day (and the film) again | 5 | |
Chicago Sunday Times Roger Ebert | 8 | |
eye Weekly Will Sloan Hearing Chan fumble one-liners he’s obviously learned phonetically and witnessing his powerful anti-chemistry with Valletta gives way to the horrible realization that Jackie Chan is being out-acted by Billy Ray Cyrus. | 1 | |
ScreenIt T. Durgin Chan make the whole thing watchable, because you're never more than 10 minutes away from the guy doing his thing. | 10 | |
