Movie Review: Chinese Zodiac (CZ12), Definitely Breath Taking Movie by Jackie Chan

If you want a great action packed movie, you must see this Jackie Chan movie. Jackie will never fail your expectation with his action moves and comic antics. Kung-Fu is well showcase in the movie. Even the girls are kicking, gliding, jumping and flying. You will see how creative Jackie as a director, writer and actor with his production staff in maneuvering the fight scene and the flow of the story.

The story was so interesting. Aside from showing the patriotism of the people to his country and culture, the story is about how these Chinese Zodiac's bronze heads and international treasures are auctioned and gained values to million of Euros. The 4 stamps is a good concept on how to increase its value. 

The escape at the start of the story was very breathtaking. Dangerous stunts are done specially when he's wearing roller blade all over his body to glide while standing or laying down, under a moving vehicle and in the sides of a cliff.

Aside from JC, his partners, Simon (Kwon Sang-woo), David(Liao Fan), and Bonnie(Zhang Lan Xin) are thieves who steal international Cultural Treasures and make replicas. It showcase how technology now can create an imitation of the original using a machine.

The chase at the garden maze is very exciting and very funny. The use of fumes to distract the dogs' tracking ability are very intelligent idea. JC scared the dog by acting as a dog. That is a crazy man.

JC take advantage of Katherine (Laura Weissbecker) request to help her to seek her great grandfather's corpse. They sailed to seek the Indestructible ship who they believe involved in the destruction of the Old Summer Place and took away it treasures. They didn't realize they are followed. Then, there are pirates. Every single moments makes me laugh during this scene.You will be shock with a black African or maybe another nation as a Mandarin translator, the Caucasian pirates turned to burned-smoking pirate, the skin inflammation of the pirates after bitten by the bees  and the escaped in the ship is like a roller coaster ride.

The rescue scene of the Dragon head from the mission "Let the Dragon Fly"  is the last  and one of the great part. You may thought the chain of 4 persons as a body of the dragon flying in the clouds. You will feel the pain when Jackie roll over in volcano's exterior. It's death defying stunts. 

I hope someone from the Philippines will support and launch Chinese Zodiac (CZ12) to cinemas.
