There are worse ways to pass 90 minutes for those willing to disregard the film’s numerous, glaring flaws. Call it a Chinese Mission Impossible, minus Ethan Hunt’s budget and brains. Read full review

Let’s be clear: Vanguard is not a great film. Arguably, it’s one of the lesser successes in the Stanley Tong/Jackie Chan oeuvre. But even if Vanguard tilts the scales slightly lower than the duos earlier efforts (Vanguard is their ninth collaboration), it still doesn’t dip low enough to be a failure. Read full review

Of course, nobody watches a Jackie Chan movie for the sophisticated plots or deep characters. They come for the martial arts. But those, too, settle for being not much more than a kick in the park. Read full review

All of this culminates in a film that is equal parts silly and nationalist. If you find yourself nostalgic for the bloodless mode of America vs. The World action movies that populated the 1990s, then Vanguard is for you. And if you’re a Jackie Chan completist, the mediocre nature of the film is at least partially offset by his heartfelt rendition of the theme song and an A+ collection of outtakes that play over the end credits.

This action spectacular seems hellbent on containing every possible marketable genre element, with no concern for whether they cohere or cancel one another out. Read full review

Tong is not a stickler for verisimilitude. Hence, this movie’s ridiculous computer generated lions; hence also, its solid-gold sports cars. Read full review

The general ineptitude is more likely to make you cackle in disbelief. Read full review

I am giving this movie 5 solely based on the fact that it is meant to be action movie and action here was good, I mean as in most Jackie Chan movies. About movie itself - while plot was typical for action movies, the acting in the movie was sooo bad, it felt cheesy.

About movie itself - while plot was typical for action movies, the acting in the movie was sooo bad, it felt cheesy. At the same time, it was clear that the movie had high budget as it was shot in beautiful scenes, had lots of action and in short it reminded me Fast and Furious series - the last ones, where there are less driving and more action stuff. Except here actors were terrible - and I watched in their language with subs and still it felt terrible, especially the actors speaking English in movie. So yeah if you just want some action packaged movie to watch while chilling and don't want movie where you need to follow every bit, then it this is not a bad choice. If you want more then yeah - this is mainly about action stuff.… Expand
