Una coppia esplosiva

It's a role that's perfect for Chan as he plays an aged stuntman who hit hard times in every sense of the word, which forces him to confront the sacrifices he made in his life in the personification of his daughter who he lost contact with, but he gets a second chance thanks to his love of a horse he's trained to do stunts.

If Jackie Chan was attempting to get that Oscar it was a good attempt. The man has spent 50 years physically giving his all on the big screen as an action star. Now in his old age he's trying to give it all emotionally as an actor and there was no better movie to do it in than Ride On, where he has nothing but empathy with what his character must be going through.

Jackie Chan maybe seasoned but he's got the experience to make his most basic tricks still exciting. The fight scenes are smaller and less dangerous, but that rhythm is still like a dancer doing the two steps with feeling. He's still got it and he's still doing it right!

On, and that horse that acts like his co-star. That horse was doing some really good acting. I was feeling everything it was doing.

Ride On is also one of those great movies about movies. One of the greatest stuntmen in the world gives us a look at the history of stuntmen from where Jackie Chan came from to where China is now with the stuntman now.

Always a little nervous with Jackie Chan movies now that he's pushing 70 but he seems to understand his lane with Ride On and it was amazing to just role with it.

Iam a big fan of Jackie Chan, i became very happy that he did a new movie, i put it directly in my watchlist. The cast is ok there is a little bit drama but not that much. The horse did the job very well. He act as smart as a dog witch is impressive. Jackie Chan stel move smoothly and its impressive to as he is old now.

The cast have a good message but there is some questions as Jackie chan was cared well about the relationship between him and his horse but doesnt did the same about his relationship with his daughter in early life? Why he broke up with his wife att why who raised up the daughter when her mother passed away when she was in very young age?

Overall the movie is a good movie and the style is more American than Chinese. I enjoyed watching this movie and i recommend to give it a try.

I was not expecting that much emotional drama from a movie starring Jackie Chan like this one, and I'm super glad it captured those emotional pinpoints.

This really looks like the type of film Jackie has always wanted to act in given his comments about trying other acting chops besides the typical kung-fu action scenes, and I couldn't be more happier for him to finally have that opportunity. I think the closest film to his best dramatic role before Ride On was Police Story: Lockdown.

The movie has a good balance of action, comedy, & drama, and doesn't rely on action fight scenes to showcase Jackie and the rest of the cast. I truly felt the heartwarming & heartbreaking father-and-daughter dynamic between Luo and Bao.

All of that goes without mentioning that the fight scenes we all love from Jackie Chan & the stunt team are in the movie, and to me, that is excellent and satisfying fan service well presented & fun.

The few issues I did have with the movie, but not that big of a deal, are some of the story beats that seem off at times, a few minutes of the second act that was slightly rushed & not enough to process, and some of Luo's disciples that deserve more screentime.

Finally, almost exactly like the fanbase of the Marvel Cinematic Universe that hunt Easter eggs for references, superfans of Jackie Chan are in for many, many treats throughout the movie. Superfans will point out props, set designs, costumes, some martial arts techniques, and other elements that either reference or at least remind them of scenes from films throughout Jackie Chan's career.

This movie also reminds me of movies like The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent paying tribute to Nicolas Cage's career or The Fabelmans subtlety telling the origins of Steven Spielberg's early stages in his filmmaking career.

Ride On serves perfectly as a touching tribute to Jackie Chan's work.

Jackie Chan's new film is a mixture of action and family drama, adding to that is the bond his character shares with his horse. A washed up stuntman, past his glory days is struggling to meet ends and the debt collector wants to take away his horse. As he fights them off, the video of it goes viral. Soon he learns, the previous owner of his horse is going to take him away, he reaches out to his estranged daughter for one last time, to save the horse and mend their relationship.

The film is filled with tear jerking moments which is pretty much what one asks for when an horse is involved. Those scenes mostly work too. Then there is a video montage of Jackie Chan's classic stunts montage which his character reacts to. Needless to say how that particular scene feels. As far as the screenplay goes, it is the usual run on the mill family drama with few action scenes thrown in to please the fans. The melodrama however is stretched and not all the scenes work as intended.

The father - daughter relationship suffered due to how basic it was and somehow it lacked the desired impact. Maybe that's why the bonding with horse had far more impact. The pace is uneven too and resorts to convenient resolution before ending on a predictable note. Jackie Chan still carries the film on his shoulder and this time not with his action skills but by making Ride On his most emotional performance to date.

Washed-up stunt man Jackie Chan has papers served on him to take his horse. He meets with estranged daughter Haocun Liu to find a lawyer, and she puts forth her geeky boy friend.

It's Jackie Chan and a horse, which is all fans like me need to make us happy for a couple of hours. Even if Chan is going to be seventy on his next birthday, and his stunts are achieved by close-up, short takes, and actually having stunt men in the longer shots, I can still enjoy Chan's sense of humor, and the fact that this is a movie where he actually acts, with a story about an old man growing up, and the dedication to taking real risks to make good movies that stunt men have shown for more than a hundred years.

And it's a very handsome horse.
