Critics' reviews

"The contrast between Tucker's motormouth and Chan's man of few words should be funnier, but the plot and the uneven pace dampen most of their moments."

Lisa Alspector: Chicago Reader
"Rush Hour effectively teams Jackie Chan and Chris Tucker in a formulaic but funny action comedy that should please fans of both stars."

Kevin Thomas: Los Angeles Times
"'Rush Hour' is lightweight and made out of familiar elements, but they're handled with humor and invention (...) Rating: ★★★ (out of 4)"

Roger Ebert: Chicago Sun-Times
"A vindication of what some of us have always known: that Jackie is a screen legend."

Almar Haflidason: BBC
"This is a weakly scripted parade of set-pieces which aren't as exciting as regular Jackie Chan films."

Caroline Westbrook: Empire
