a big heap of funDecember 15, 2010
A lightweight, but highly enjoyable buddy cop movie elevated by its two lead stars.June 18, 2002
Rush Hour is a righteous title for an action comedy, and that's only the beginning.April 03, 2009
The action and stunt scenes are not on a par with those in Chan's HK efforts.January 01, 2000
Hollywood calculation can't match the primitive eager-to-please quality that made those Hong Kong films refreshing; they were appealing because they were so free of irony.February 09, 2006
Much of the best dialogue, you suspect, was improvised by Tucker and Chan, who seem truly taken with each other and make a delightful, ordinary-extraordinary pair.January 01, 2000
What a lousy movie!February 14, 2001
Rush Hour effectively teams Jackie Chan and Chris Tucker in a formulaic but funny action comedy that should please fans of both stars.December 29, 2010
Chan...can make something out of nothing, while Ratner's chief skills seem to be talking himself into the director's chair and hiring the right people. [Blu-ray]October 18, 2008
By the book buddy-buddy movie. This is a weakly scripted parade of set-pieces which aren't as exciting as regular Jackie Chan films.October 14, 2008
The contrast between Tucker's motormouth and Chan's man of few words should be funnier, but the plot -- which is cliched without quite becoming self-reflexive -- and the uneven pace dampen most of their moments.October 19, 2010
Buddy cop fun amidst explosions, bad guys, and language.
