A few days back, I realised that this was one of a very few Jackie Chan films that I hadn't seen before, so I decided 'to right the wrong' and watch it, because I'm a big fan. The romance part didn't scare me off initially, because I knew it was also an action film, so it had to be fun, right? Wrong! I didn't expect it to be so bad. I only give this 2 out of 10, because Jackie never disappoints. But I literally had nothing else to enjoy about this nerve grating film! It wasn't worth two hours (it felt like very long two hours).
The main heroine is an annoying, obnoxiously loud Mary Sue who can speak with dolphins and suddenly knows how to drive a motor boat. I don't know how old she's supposed to be, but she acts like a 10-12 y.o. At best. I honestly don't understand how that's supposed to be 'adorable'. It's funny that she accuses her suitor back at home of being immature. It doesn't help that the two main characters have zero chemistry either.
I wish someone just made a montage of action scenes (this film has very few of them anyway), because I honestly wouldn't bother with anything else.
