Lackluster, slow and with only hints of the combo of kineticism, kung fu and comedy that was part of Chan's appeal in the first place, Chinese Zodiacdoesn't do justice to the actor's filmic heritage.

What a pity this workout doesn't deliver a stronger kick.

Will likely leave most ... viewers dazed, confused and eagerly watching the clock.

Gary Goldstein, Los Angeles Times

The pic reps an uneven ride that is repeatedly stalled by grandstanding anti-colonial screeds.
