Rush Hour
A nice film that blends comedy with action quite well. Loved the partnership portrayed in the movie by Jackie Chan and Chris Tucker, it felt natural and they played up the comedic effect well. It wasn't just all humor and no plot either, as the story was tightly paced (it's not intricate, complex story, but it works here), coupled with numerous actions scenes which made it quite enjoyable to watch. There were some great moments and gags and that jump out of the blue. There were some dull moments where nothing exciting was happening, which caused the film to plod along, thankfully, the film isn't too long so it never seems to just waste your time. To be fair, there is a bit too much Cantonese and Mandarin dialogue, which, while authentic, does still take away the immersion. A funny film scattered with some great action scenes.
