119 - The Accidental Spy

    A salesman winds up falling into a story of drug production and wild chases after he's informed that his unknown father has just died.
    This was a really hard movie to summarize.  In fact, the plot is mostly irrelevant.  The point is to enjoy Jackie Chan's action sequences.
    It's a good one, but like many of his features, the plot tends to get in the way of the fun.
    I can recommend one sequence in particular.  It starts in some kind of massage parlor, and Chan runs the whole thing from there, to a rooftop, to a marketplace, and eventually to some back alleys.
    Chan is at his best when there's a strong pace, lots of humor, and ideally, longer shots.  This was actually the weakest point of this one - there are too many shots that are really fast.  The excellent choreography of Chan's stunt team is one of them strongest things these movies have to offer, and fast edits take a lot of the charm out of them.
     Man, I miss Rumble in the Bronx.  I've been wanting to see that again for awhile now.
