His sudden transformation from a villain to a good guy is laughable. Sonu Sood has played the villain several times before in our Hindi films but you will see him in an English-speaking villain's avatar for the first time and it is a total disgrace to the language. Disha Patani and Amyra Dastur look just pretty and the two have nothing much to act. Jackie Chan stars as Jack, a world-renowned archaeology professor who must locate and save a lost ancient treasure before a team of mercenaries destroys it forever. He will surely impress the kids, must say. Though the film got the biggest opening ever in his homeland China, it lacks logic in every aspect. Looks like, he took Bollywood too seriously! He is cute while dancing but nothing will get in your head because he is talking and singing in Chinese. Over to the actors, this is probably the worst of Jackie Chan movies. The biggest hiccup of the film is that there are no subtitles while the film is in Chinese and English. The only scene which looks real is when Amyra escapes from the cage surrounded by aggressive Jackals. The scene where Chan and Disha are chased by a VFX-generated orange snake while hanging on the roots just spoils the film. Chan’s car-chasing sequence with a giant lion in his car seated behind is annoying. The scenes where Jackie Chan does Kung Fu to scare a bunch of wolfs is silly. Brain dead action sequences and impractical humour make the film look even more awful.
