Review of Rush Hour (1941) by Sally S — 22 Jan 2013
1998 - 3/5.
-I needed to watch a movie that would put a smile on my face and this movie allowed me to do so.
-There are very few movies that can take characters with 2 different personalities and blend them well ('Blackinese'). James Carter (Chris Tucker) had a very boisterous presence, while Lee (Jackie Chan) balanced that with his calm, cool and collected mannerisms. Tucker and Chan make a great on-screen pair and it shows that both actors enjoyed being behind the camera while filming (be sure to watch the beginning of the credits).
-The script as a whole, wasn't the greatest part of the movie, but the culture-clash jokes were funny and tastefully done. It was fun watching Tucker and Chan squabbling throughout the movie.
-The action in this movie wasn't silly, and it very easily could have been. The martial arts was fun to watch; you could actually see what was going on, rather than a bunch of close-ups and punch/kick sound effects.
-The movie is only 1.5 hours long so it has a good pace.
