Newline Rush Hour 3 (Blu-ray)
In director Brett Ratner's RUSH HOUR 3, African-American cop James Carter (Chris Tucker) once again reunites with Chinese inspector Lee (Jackie Chan) to both taunt and battlebad guys. Whereas the first movie was on Carter'sturf, and the second was set in Lee's homeland, this outing finds both Carter and Lee out of their element in Paris, dealing not only with criminals,but also with the quirks of French culture. Alongthe way, Lee must confront his old friend Kenji (Hiroyuki Sanada) in order to save the day.

Summary: Do not rush any more Rush Hours
Comment: Of the 3 Rush Hours, this was quite a dissapointment. 75 percent of it was extremly slow. Just didnt care about any of the characters after the first 15 minutes. Didnt even care about Lee or Carter after awhile. Rush Hour 1 and 2 were much more enjoyable. They had laughs and fun. This one didnt. the last 15 min were probably the best part. Especially because it was ending! Pass on this one everyone

Summary: not as good as the first two, but fun anyway
Comment: The action this time takes Lee (Chan) and Carter (Tucker) to France, where there's something about a list of the leaders of the Triads.... oh, you don't care about that--the plot's only there to give a reason for the jokes and the stunts.
Truly, the plot's a bit confusing. A diplomat who gets shot just as he was going to reveal the leaders of the Triads; a list of names tattooed on a woman's head; various factions after Lee and Carter and the woman and each other.
The action and jokes are pretty much what you'd expect if you've seen the first 2 movies. One of the bad guys, however, is Kenji (Hiroyuki Sanada) Lee's "brother" (they'd grown up together), and that provides a nice bit of emotional conflict.
The other thing that distinguishes this movie from the first two is the Paris setting, with a cool action sequence on the Eiffel Tower, but mostly with the sneering Parisian cab driver George (Yvan Attal), who provides even more laughs and ends up making a surprising ally. The addition of his character to the Tucker/Chan duo kept it fresh, not unlike an old married couple with a new audience for their stories. I also really enjoyed his rather skewed view of America--it's not actually all that exaggerated.
It wasn't quite as good as the first two, but it was a fun way to spend an evening--we always enjoy Jackie Chan, even in his cheesiest movies (or maybe that's especially), and as my son's English teacher is wont to say, "Chris Tucker is a funny man."

Summary: Mindless entertainment
Comment: 3.5 stars. I'm afraid I was prepared not to like this movie. I heard so much of how much of a disappointment it was. And it is...but there is still a little charm left with this comedic duo. But please let the series end here. I can't even recap the plot because, but it truly doesn't make any sense. Everything is a matter of convenience. They always walk to the right place and there is always some minor character telling them where they need to go next. The climatic ending looking like a combination of the first two movies and well, the plot is just bad. Actually, the script is bad. But I did laugh quite a bit. Go figure.

Summary: As Good As The First Two
Comment: I thought RH3 would be a fun romp, but not up to par as far as laughs and action with the first two RHs. But from the hilarious opening scene where Detective James Carter (Chris Tucker) is wailing a Prince song while directing LA traffic, I was happily proven wrong. Paris has never looked more beautiful as the setting for the plot, which involves a secret list of Triad leaders and a beautiful cabaret dancer named Genevieve.
I must comment that I was stunned by the comment someone made about age catching up with Jackie Chan. He looks in top form to me, and I would like to see that reviewer do one-tenth of the acrobatics when he is JC's age.
Again, lots of laughs, lots of action, fantastic setting - highly recommended.
