With smooth, energetic direction by Gordon Chan and a love interest in the beautiful Claire Forlani, The Medallion shapes up as one of Jackie Chan's best American films.

Makes you long for Tucker -- and for Jackie Chan to fly without digital wings.

So cheesy and cheap that it almost attains high camp.

The Medallion is an honest machine for making money, a meritorious entrepreneurial model.

Die-hard Jackie Chan fans may be disappointed.

Repeatedly falls back on poorly staged, choppily edited (and gunplay-heavy) fight scenes between Chan and a gloomy, power-mad villain.

This outing, Jackie doesn't bring much humor or personality to his role.

Probably the worst Jackie Chan vehicle to come around in his career...

For Jackie Chan... the moment of truth may have finally come. Nearly 50... the undeniably engaging star may be near the end of his shelf life as an action figure.

Chan's normally homegrown stuntwork is replaced by a lot of wire fighting and special effects.

... enough distractions to carry us through the doldrums.

If writers think that they have to give Jackie Chan superpowers and special effects in order for him to do amazing things, they clearly have no idea who they're writing for.
