In the fall of 1911, China overthrew it's 2000 year reigning monarchy and formed a democracy. A century later, their story has been told, with the talent of the legendary Jackie Chan. Chan is known for the Rush Hour films here in America, but his work is far broader than that. In this film, he gives an amazing performance. The film is genuinely good, but has some slow moments. Altenrating between settings and story lines, it would have done well to have had more of Chan and the richness he brings to his character. 3.5 out of 5 stars.
