Mischa Redfern I didn’t really have many expectations going into the movie (good or bad), but I actually really enjoyed it. I really liked the characters and the banter between them.

Fatma Suarez The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful

Freeman This film is so real. It treats its characters with so much care and sensitivity.

Guillelmina The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.

Leofwine_draca SKIPTRACE is a film that comes as a surprise to me. First off, whilst not being a great movie, it's the first Jackie Chan film I've seen in yonks that feels like one of his older classics. It's a light and breezy production, full of silly comedy and action, and a story that keeps on moving so that it never feels dull despite the predictability of the thing. It was made by Renny Harlin, whose career has been less than illustrious as of late, but it's one of his better showings.The plot sees Chan and sidekick Johnny Knoxville (riffing on his LAST STAND persona, and not irritating at all) teaming up to tackle a criminal mastermind. Most of the film feels like a travelogue as they head through Mongolia and China on their way to Hong Kong. There's plenty of action, including a stand-out fight early on in a Russian doll factory (!) which is just like a classic scene from one of Jackie's '80s movies. Hong Kong cinema lovers will enjoy the turns from Eric Tsang, Michael Wong, and a cameoing Richard Ng, and in the end this is a harmless enough slice of entertainment that's a bit better than most of Jackie's recent stuff.

Mark Thomas REVIEW - SKIPTRACE hmmmm a weird nane for a film especially a Jackie Chan film but as always Jackie delivers with fights, stunts, humour and this time actually a good buddy crime story with a little twist that even I wasn't expecting at the end.Thoroughly enjoyed this film as I always do with Jackie Chan films so if you've got nothing better to do and what some enjoyable movie watching then you won't go far wrong with Jackie Chan.

SnoopyStyle Hong Kong police detective Bennie Chan (Jackie Chan) loses his partner Yung in a deadly bombing. He suspects that businessman Victor Wong is criminal Matador responsible for the death. He's been investigating for 9 years to no avail. World-traveling thief Connor Watts (Johnny Knoxville) is on the run from the Russian mob after sleeping with the daughter of the boss. In Macau, he gets involved with Yung's daughter Samantha who is infiltrating a casino connected to Victor Wong. He steals her card to access a private floor where he witnesses Esther Yee's murder. He escapes by getting taken by the Russians. The casino accuses him of stealing money and Samantha asks Bennie to track him down.This is classic Jackie Chan. The action is still there and so is his sense of humor. His fights still have that pep and his fights with Eve Torres are actually funny. It's nothing new except this time's guilo is Knoxville. I expected better chemistry but the two deliver enough comedy. The story doesn't really work and the movie tries very hard to make it into a muddle. The guys end up in the Mongolian desert for no particularly good reason other than it's exotic cool. It's great to see Jackie staying in fighting shape but it's not much better than that.

KineticSeoul I am a fan of Jackie Chan, and I appreciate what he brought to the kung- fu genre. But this one was quite disappointing for me. What made a lot of Jackie Chan movies stick for me was the fact that it has hooks, the stunt work and how it pacts a punch. However this movie fails to deliver those elements I got hooked on. The plot is about Bennie Chan (Jackie Chan) teaming up with a swindler played by Johnny Knoxville. It really tries to go for the old school feel, with the humor and the cliché goofy bad guys when it comes to Jackie Chan films. But it just lacked the flare and the hook to make it engaging. Everything just seemed so darn cardboard and even the stunt work seemed like something out of a Disney movie with the bad guys being the ultimate clutz. Sure it worked in the Jackie Chan movies in the past, but it just seemed so forced in this. As much as I like Jackie and enjoyed a lot of his past movies. His age really does limit him to basically using the props to maneuver around without much physicality. I don't even want to get started on the acting. I will just say that it's very laughable, even in parts where I don't think they intended it to be funny. Overall, I think even people that enjoys Jackie Chan movies should just pass on this one, unless maybe if your are a die hard Jackie Chan fan. 5/10
