RAILROAD TIGERS (Theatrical Release China 2016)

Ben Meyers’ rating: 3.8|5.0 Starsììì

Railroad Tigers returns Jackie Chan to some comedy and begins re-establishing the Jackie Chan that we knew and loved from previous years. He’s not doing much Kung Fu in this movie and is relying on straight up acting with some great cinematography and a great supporting cast to tell the story. The script is great and overall this ride cannot be ignored. It’s good entertainment.
