Ride On
A man & his horse, a man & his estranged daughter, and a man & a lawsuit are featured in the Chinese foreign film with English subtitles. Washed-up stuntman Luo (Jackie Chan) has financial difficulties that threatens him with the possibility of losing his beloved stunt horse. He is forced to seek out his daughter & her lawyer boyfriend to handle his legal case. As usual, Jackie displays his amazing martial arts stunt skills & his flair for comedy. This story is about an aging man fighting for the things he loves. Even if you are too slow to read all of the subtitles quickly, it’s still easy to grasp the essence of each scene. If you are a fan of Jackie Chan, you’ll probably enjoy this romp looking at the movie making business. During the credits, film outtakes are screened.
Alien gives it 2½ “Red Hare” stars out of 4.
