By now, we are already resigned to the fact that Jackie Chan isn’t the same anymore. That tidal wave of unbridled energy that made classic Hong Kong action flicks like Armour Of God, Police Story, Project A, and Drunken Master II has slowed down to a mere trickle, and is more and more apparent with every new movie he releases.
From the ponderous Dragon Blade to the inept Skiptrace, his past few films have increasingly highlighted Chan’s decline in powers. It’s a fact that is probably not lost on Chan though, who seems to be putting a greater focus on his acting rather than the fighting, (Skiptrace aside), and also giving his co-stars a lot more of the limelight.
