Rush Hour 3 has got to be one of the worse movies I’ve had the misfortune to sit through. I’m a fan of Jackie Chan, but he’s just gotten too old for whoop-ass kung-fu fighting. The events in the story were too farfetched to be believeable and most of the actors were bad, especially Jingchu Zhang and Roman Polanski, who has a minor part of a French Police detective. Only redeeming qualities were the beautiful Noémie Lenoir and the rapport between Chan and co-star Chris Tucker. Rating: one star.
