The usual impressive parkour-style stunts for which Jackie CHAN is justly famous do not make this anything more than merely average. The chemistry between the leading players is weak and so the comedy that relies on their sparring is similarly limited in affect.
Yet this movie has many great comic moments and the Buddhist reincarnation theme and plotting adds a necessary sense of mystery and magic that is otherwise lacking. Absurdly, important plot points were foolishly-removed in the editing so that you have to watch the Deleted Scenes - after watching the movie - to fully understand why certain events take place.
