Railroad Tigers (2017)
Not Rated
Starring Jackie Chan, Jaycee Chane, Zitao Huang, Kai Wang,
Directed by Ding Sheng
The Story:
Ma Yuan (Chan) and a group of ragtag railroad workers decide that to get much needed supplies to the poor, they are going to have to start robbing the supply trains that China is heavily guarding as they roll through Japan.
Going into a Jackie Chan movie, you pretty much know what to expect at this point.
Humorous situations. Great stunts.
You'll get all of that here in this movie.
The problem, it's a very slow film that has lots of boredom crammed around those fight scenes.
Creaking in at over 2 hours, the movie is just too long, and the pacing so uneven, that it's hard to gain a vested interest in what is happening onscreen.
Still, Jackie's still bringing it after all these years, and you get to see him team up with his son Jaycee, and see that the master has a willing protege to follow in his footsteps if/when he decides to finally retire.
It has since been added to the Netflix streaming library since I watched it, and is currently available to stream as of this writing.
Final Grade: C/C+ range
