WESTERN
FILM REVIEW
A
rollercoaster of punches & guffaws
Chandigarh
Another sequel? Means one more
recipe for disaster. The rumblings of another fiasco almost force you to
approach “ Rush Hour 2” (Kiran) as someone who is going to have a
limbo experience. The more you lull yourself into slumber, the more you
will enjoy (or, should we say, avoid) it. Lowering your expectations
thus, you kiss your senses goodbye and witness the big city cop, James
Carter (Chris Tucker), and his kung fu partner, Chief Inspector Lee
(Jackie Chan) of the Hong Kong police goof up on the streets while on
vacation.
