Simple and well acted, it has tension enough to knot the stomach.
Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.
An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.
JACKIE CHAN: MY STORY is a nice little straight-to-video documentary exploring the life in film of the world's number one martial artist. Sure, it's dated and cheesy in places, but it's also fast-paced and cheerful and features plenty of interview clips with the man himself. As expected, this documentary is padded out with various fight scenes from Jackie's movies dating between the 1970s and the 1990s. More interestingly, it has brief interview snippets - often culled from behind-the-scenes footage or red carpet news footage - with various celebrities chatting about the great man. There's little to dislike about this enjoyable effort overall.
If you are a fan of Jackie Chan, this documentary is the best you can see on him.
