Of course, Jackie isn’t in his twenties anymore (and not in his thirties or fourties either), but the problem is that Jackie Chan isn’t a great actor, he’s a great action star, and when there is no good acting in a movie, no noteworthy plot, and only lame jokes, what’s left when the main attraction is not delivering the punches anymore? There’s only an absolutely charming guy and a lot of nostalgia - not enough for a good movie.
