Los Angeles Times
May please non-discriminating fans of its co-writer/director/star (and more) Jackie Chan, but will likely leave most other viewers dazed, confused and eagerly watching the clock. - 40
The New York Times
The film is about exotic locations (including a volcano), garish humor (often at the expense of Mr. Chan or women), fisticuffs, stunts and frenetic visual bombast. - 30
Variety
Taking more than a dozen credits, including helmer-scribe, Jackie Chan emerges a Jackie-of-all-trades and master of none. - 20
The Hollywood Reporter
The kind of mindless, silly romp the multi-hyphenate has become known for.
