| In director Stanley Tong's action-packed film, Jackie Chan battles on land, in the air, and underwater in his efforts to help both the CIA and a Russian intelligence agency retrieve a stolen Ukrainian nuclear warhead. Sent on an easy tailing job, Jackie gets more than he bargained for and is soon fighting for survival on a frozen mountaintop against gun-toting baddies on skis and snowmobiles. Luckily the chase sends him to warm Australia, but danger still comes at Jackie from all angles -- including sharks from below. | ||||||||||||||||||||||

| "There's definately more than three rings' worth of death-defying feats, high-flying slapstick and even a few well-trained animal acts." -- Susan Wloszczyna, USA Today | ||||||||||||||||||||||
