Shanghai Noon review

Jackie Chan is the loyal Chon Wang and Owen Wilson is the fugitive Roy O'Bannon. The film is a mixture of action/western/comedy elements with a light plot. The only small fleck I find is the length of some scenes. The cinematography was surprisingly striking and the humor was impressive. Even Jackie Chan’s facial expressions make you smile. The stunts were astonishing, even Owen Wilson did a little in the train scene with the logs. Lucy Liu as the princess did some nifty fight scenes. It was fascinating to see Jackie Chan utilizing various weapons even from a horse shoe which was very innovative. There were some religious components, themes of friendship and determination. Overall, this was a compelling film for all ages to enjoy.
