(Rush Hour 3)
Jackie Chan and Chris Tucker come together again for the third sequel of Rush Hour to render a engrossing fare.
Detective Lee (Chan) and traffic cop Carter (Tucker) travel to Paris this time, to track down a Chinese mafia gang that has shot a diplomat in Los Angeles.
Jackie Chan is a delight to watch when he performs the acrobatic stunt sequences with such ease and elegance, while Chris Tucker's spontaneous humour floors the audience. Academy Award-winning film director Roman Polanski co-stars as a French police official.
Carter a traffic cop on the streets of Los Angeles and Lee works as a bodyguard for his friend Ambassador Han. During the World Criminal Court discussions, as the Ambassador addresses the importance to fight the Triad, he announces that he knows the identity of the Triad leadership known as the Shai Shen. Unfortunately, an assassination attempt on Han's life takes place and he gets shot, disrupting the conference. Lee traces and pursues the assassin and eventually corners him, discovering that the assassin is his godbrother, Kenji. When Lee hesitates to shoot Kenji, Carter shows up driving towards the two but Kenji manages to escape.
In the hospital, Lee learns that the bullet had missed Han's heart and that he will make a full recovery. Han's daughter, Soo Yung (Zhang Jingchu), now grown up, arrives and makes Lee and Carter promise to capture the one behind the assassination in order to ensure her father's safety. The two now take up a mission to nab the wrong-doers. Did they succeed in their attempts form the crux.
Directed by Brett Ratner, the movie could have been made more crisper and loaded with more action. Worth a watch is this sequel.
