The Tuxedo

Being a big fan of Jackie Chan and his movies, I was hoping to expierience another Rush Hour, or at least something of RAW ACTION from his earlier films.

I did however, get suspicious when I saw that Jennifer Love Hewitt was the Co-Star. Hardly a promise of great acting.

The film started badly, progressed painfully tacky, and ended with a *sigh* of dis-satisfaction. IMO its a film that will go out of theaters quite quickly. Its a MADE FOR TV MOVIE.

Special Effects does not a movie make. And while Jackie has great flashes of Martial Arts as is his style, the special effects take from his skills, and you begin to wonder is this man actually performing his own stunts....

Jennifer looked as hot as usual. And most likely that is what she was hired for.

If you are going to see it, watch out for a guest appearance from a GREAT GODFATHER. That at least I enjoyed

The best part of this movie was the ending. A cliché I hear you shout. Well no. The ending WAS the best part of the movie, with the silly funny outtakes that is standard with Jackies films. Watch Jackie get hurt, laugh, act the fool. Great comedy and always produces a chuckle.

Jackie had been away for a while since his last outing, and although I still believe that he is utterly brilliant, I wish he could have come back with a script and cast that he so deserves.
