Sight and Sound
"...It deserves to succeed..." 12/01/1998 p.60-1

Entertainment Weekly
"...Great....The start of a beautiful friendship and a rewarding Hollywood franchise between [Tucker and Chan]..." -- Rating: B 01/22/1999 pp.107-9

USA Today
"...Twinkle-eyed martial arts melees..." 09/18/1998 p.3E

New York Times
"...[A] kick-happy buddy film....[Chan] makes a doleful expression and comedic physical grace take the place of small talk..." 09/18/1998 p.E12

Box Office
"...[Chan] is in fine form -- nimble, fun and reserved. It's the best acting he's done in a while, which makes it all the more exhilarating to watch him dance through the well-choreographed fight scenes..." 11/01/1998 p.157

Los Angeles Times
"...Good-looking, well-paced....Ratner keeps the picture barreling ahead while showing off his stars to advantage. Chan humorously underplays to the hyper Tucker, leaving his fabled martial artistry to provide the razzle-dazzle..." 09/18/1998 p.C6

Boxoffice Magazine 7 of 10
Tucker maintains his manic energy without becoming too grating and, when he drops to a saner level, actually shares some nice moments with Chan. Chan, meanwhile, is in fine form--nimble, fun and reserved. It's the best acting he's done in a while, which makes it all the more exhilarating to watch him dance through the well-choreographed fight scenes. Despite the inordinate amount of cliches tossed about, the characters have heart, the film has energy and a relatively solid story comparatively. - Simon O'Ryan
