I mean, I can handle a half-baked story about some virus of which we don’t know really why it was used) and I can forgive an action movie plotholes the size of Alaska, but suspending credibility goes only so far. And here they not only went too far, they took it to another galaxy. And without the tongue-in-cheek humour of Kung Fu Hustle to cushion it, it become outright ridiculous.

Knocking of a car bomb with a crane hook, surviving a plane crash at full sea (with the rescue party already waiting?) was just too much. Also the Jacky Chan-inspired firehose fight was funny in essence, but it lacked the ‘realism’ Chan could put in it (which means: less CGI and editing).

I could’ve handled some over the top stunts, but this looked more like a commercial set-up for the video game. Statham can do much better than this and so can the other actors.
