Miami HeraldCharles Savage
The formulaic movie would be forgettable but inoffensive if it were anyone else posing for blue screen CGI effects. Read full review

New York PostLou Lumenick
Given the complete lack of chemistry between Chan and Forlani, their rather awkward lip-lock isn't worth $10 to see. Sadly, neither is anything else here. Read full review

The Globe and Mail (Toronto)Rick Groen
As for the old and graceful Jackie, he's completely missing in action, his supple talents sacrificed on the high altar of movie technology -- that frenetic place where superheroes are a colossal bore and real ones are sadly impotent. Read full review

Baltimore SunRoger Moore
The supernatural stuff is ho-hum, the dubbing is sloppy and the action will only make you pine for the younger, hungrier and more injury-prone Jackie. Read full review

New York Daily NewsJami Bernard
Evans fumbles through painfully extended homophobic jokes, weak double entendres and agonizingly contorted double-takes. Read full review

Charlotte ObserverLawrence Toppman
It's the cheapest looking, least exciting, least funny Chan project I've ever seen. Read full review

Austin ChronicleMarc Savlov
One of the Peking Opera-trained superstar's most mediocre films, rivaling last year’s God-awful "The Tuxedo" for sheer messy filmmaking and brazen acts of tedium... Abysmal. Read full review
