CGiii Comment

Jackie Chan - the executive producer - should have put his foot down, slamming it on the floor with a mighty thud.

The direction is atrocious which is further aggravated by some wholly unacceptable acting...exacerbated by a ludicrous script.

Kenneth Bi (funny name) - you are neither a writer nor director - desist.
