‘Skiptrace’ is Jackie Chan new movie and is reminiscent of Jackie Chan’s
earlier hit-or-miss American buddy comedies As we know, Jackie Chan’s stunt was
dangerous, jumping off buildings, diving off piers and flinging himself from
moving trains an so on. He liked to do the stunt just by himself.
In the film “Skiptrace,” Jackie Chan’s
performance was stunning enough to appeal to those with sophisticated aesthetic
tastes. ‘Skiptrace’ was directed by Renny Harlin, is a cut above most martial
arts shootouts, but its hands are still handcuffed. In the film, Jackie Chan
told his “partner” Knoxville that he works too hard, fights too hard and he has
no life, while the two brothers make a wish on a Chinese lantern to take down
the bad guys, a wish that always seems to be granted in Jackie Chan movies.
Maybe Chan should have wished for a line of work that takes a lesser toll in
his golden years on sensitive body parts.
Jackie Chan must be regarded as the best actor
in China and in movie field. In the film, Jackie Chan and Knoxville make their
way through Russia, the Gobi Desert, Mongolia and the river gorges of China to
get back to Hong Kong and settle matters with the nasty druggies.
It may be life affirming, or something, to
watch Chan go at it yet again. But the fellow is said to be worth $1.8 billion.
There are no greater riches to seek. Perhaps he might want to heed his own
words that he relates to Knoxville, in a brief respite between pummelings.
