Lets just hope it ends here. Rush Hour 3 was okay but it just looked tired.
Again Jackie Chan and Chris Tucker return as the odd couple detective team and you can't help but wonder why Lee (Chan) would want to have anything to do with Carter (Tucker) after the first two movies.
That aside, Chan isn't as young as he used to be and you can really tell in this one just by the amount of stunts he's involved in (or not involved in to be more to the point).
Chan didn't really look like he wanted to be there. Either that or the script was that thin.
On the plus side it is still entertaining, though not as consistent as the earlier ones, and there are a few very good action scenes (one in particular involving a cab and a couple of motorcycles).
The highlight for me was the French taxi driver who hates Americans. He was great fun.
Rush Hour 3 has its moments, is a bit of fun and really its just on 90 minutes. You can do much worse. But it has nothing on the earlier films and any other film of its genre I have seen this year. Plus Chris Tucker is really annoying. A 6 out of 10 and let's hope that is the end for Rush Hour.
