Hour of Rush . Review on Rush Hour -Hollywood Movie

So what does every cop movie in Hollywood tell you - there is a cop. He loves his job. He has an irate boss who disposes everything the good cop proposes. Then this wonder cop has a partner.

They kick B's and good guys win. So what else is new? Perhaps, little comedy, perhaps a little enlightenment on which wire to cut - the red one or the green one for detonating a bomb, may be sometimes you have a little budding romance when the good guy gets a femme cop who can equally kick what I call B's.

So, what else is really new. Red Heat was somewhat different because you had an Austrian actor speaking English in a Russian accent, teamed up with Chicago's best and kicked what I call B's. If you want to Spell A - different - cop - and - partner - movie you might as well have spelt Rush Hour

Take two ingredients from two different sides of the world, put them in a Microwave oven and turn the heat to the maximum for five minutes what do you get. The same reason you put Jackie Chan and Chris Tucker. When the biggest mouth of the west and the easy going lucky LAPD teams up with the best of Hong Kong police, the former being over illusional and the latter being delusional trying to be hot on the heels of a kidnapper, facing all the action and trying to resolve their own differences.

You get two type of genres of movies rolled in one- comedy and comical action.

Detective James Carter (Chris Tucker) is LAPD sleuth, who wants to make it to the FBI. He gets his chance when the Chinese Consuls daughter Soo Yung (Julia Hsu) is kidnapped and Inspector Lee (Jackie Chan) is asked to team up with Carter to narrow down on the suspects and get the little girl alive.

For FBI, Inspector Lee is a pain in the ''you know what'' or diplomatically put in ''thorn in the flesh''. So they make an offer for Carter to join FBI and just tag along Inspector Lee. Inspector Lee on the other hand bears a long time friendship with The Chinese Consul, and intends to do a bit of investigation himself.

What comes next is pretty much expected. A performance of the two put together, a Chinese martial arts freak and a yoyo loud mouth giving you entertainment at its best. Jackie Chan was at his usual best, oozing with comedy between his fist punches and feet kicks. When He wasn?t fighting he learns to say Yo and not to make it sound like a karate.

Chris Tucker tries so hard not to look like an idiot. If you actually look up their previous movies, there is nothing new they have given. So why have I given four stars to this one? Because it is such a unique combination having the concept of east meets west.
