I saw the cinematic adaptation of The Chinaman (can see why they changed the title.) The overly PC crowd would've cried racism for obvious reasons.
It's a decent thriller that feels a bit dated with the whole IRA thing.
It had some cool action scenes, but at the same time it seems that age is starting to catch up to Mr. Chan... Or Western health and safety standards being more rigorous than Hong Kong's are stifling Jackie...
One more thing... This is not a Jackie Chan movie. It's a Pierce Brosnan thriller that happens to have Jackie Chan in it. The movie is super serious... If you're expecting a traditional Jackie Chan movie, this is not it.
Also, time is running out for a live action Jackie Chan Adventures movie.
