OUR TAKE: 5 out of 10 I have to admit, I'm a huge Jackie Chan fan. ELIZABETH PEÑA has a smaller part as Tucker's sometime partner and bomb diffuser-in- training who's an okay role model for young girls.KEN LEUNG plays the crime lord's main henchman, a man who kills several people and kidnaps a young girl.CHRIS TUCKER plays a rogue LAPD detective, whose fast-talking (including cussing), arrogant, and reckless ways, often get him into trouble when he's not solving cases.Along the way, he disposes of (but doesn't kill) many villains and FBI agents who wish to keep him off the case. JACKIE CHAN plays a Hong Kong detective summoned to the U.S.WHY THE MPAA RATED IT: PG-13 For sequences of action/violence and shootings, and for language. WILL KIDS WANT TO SEE IT? If they're fans of Tucker ("Money Talks") or Hong Kong martial arts star, Jackie Chan, they probably will. Things get more complicated, however, when the unlikely duo accidently thwarts the planned money for hostage exchange, as well as upon the arrival of Han's old friend, Thomas Griffin (TOM WILKINSON), who has a vested interest in the outcome of the kidnaping.
