Project X-Traction

80' style plot? Check. Schlocky dialog? Check. Bad CGI? Check. World's greatest martial artist showing he still has it? Check. Pro wrestler-slash-action star whipping up on the bad guys? Check. It was cheesy and campy and I liked it! Expecting a thought provoking thriller? Go see a Christopher Nolan film. Want a Friday night popcorn / check brain at door movie that's just fun to watch? Stop browsing what's new to stream and enjoy this guilty pleasure. Jackie Chan and John Cena have some surprisingly good and funny chemistry. Much better than I expected, but then I didn't have super high expectations. Glad I didn't, because this film delivered.

Engaging action, nice story, all brought down by less than ideal chemistry between the two lead players and poor direction.

The action has a Fast and Furious vibe, mixed with some Jackie Chan style sense of humor. It is a blast of fun if you enjoy either (or both) of those styles.

The storyline, while not totally innovative, is relatively fresh still. It is also quite convincing enough for this genre.

What brings the movie down is the lack of chemistry between the characters including the Cena and Chan. The pairing is brilliant; you just hope a little more time was invested in nurturing their relationship on and off screen.

While the story was good, and the action was engaging, the transitions from one stage to the next needed better coaxing and smoothing. Something better direction can fix.

Overall, I am left highly anticipating the teased sequel!

Like Jackie Chan. I like John Cena. But they were not good in this. I would liken it to a James Bond movie with Rodger Moore. It was...bad. Just all levels of ridiculousness, and not in a good way. Also, wow, Jackie Chan has really messed with his face too much...

The humor was really forced...The plot didn't make sense and also felt very rushed? I'm sure they had fun making this but it's one of those things where I spent less time focusing on the movie than wondering who came up with the idea for this and how did they get the buy in to move ahead with actually making it? I guess watch it if you're bored or want something on in the background...

Finally a top funny action movie with some never seen stunts or combat scenes before.

I didn't expect such an entertaining evening.

I mean this is a good example how they can fight without killing always with full of bullets or never ending boum boum. The result was a really creative thriller without.so many brutal numbers as we can see in John Wick or other similar movies.

The special effects were well done and the dialogs weren't so serious but just amusingly.

A nice enriching production on Netflix in this category. The filming locations offered the right atmosphere and it was fast paced so that you can't look away and doing other things. It's captivating and surprises as I mentioned with original ideas. I hope there will be a sequel. 6/10.

I went in the movie thinking it was some big shot Hollywood movie, boy was I wrong!

For a 100min movie, it fails to write up a good backstory for chan and Cena.

The plot is nonsensical and the acting sub-par. Infact so sup-bar it was funny at times.

Not gonna lie, the only thing I enjoyed was chan and Cena's duo performance.

Furthermore, the story has no soul, and jackie chans acrobatic performance carried the movie to a 6 from a 4.

IMDB says Stallone was supposed to be with chan instead of Cena. That would've been a career disaster.

Watchable, but only at home when you can spare an hour and a half.
