Rating: 3/5

A stroke of tedious fun

CZ12 is directed, written and produced by the martial art superstar Jackie Chan. The film is believed to be the last action film for the 58 year old actor.

The film is a mindless, silly entertainment action flick that conveys the story of 12 Chinese Zodiac bronze heads that has been stolen during the Opium war and how Jackie Chan salvages the entire priceless artifact.

In the midst of his adventure, he needs to rediscover his allegiance and conscience between greed and his sense of national pride. On a serious note, the film digs deeper and highlights the untold stories in the world of auctioning.

Jackie proves age is just a number with his charm, energy and amazing stunts. This film broke the world record for the most stunts performed by a living Actor.

This globetrotting martial art film is multi-national and intended for maximum market appeal. It was shot in Paris, Taiwan and the South Pacific among others. While the cast hails from South Korea, China, USA and France. It is a Multilingual entertainer and don’t be surprised to hear Hindi too.

From JC's funny humour antics while kicking and jumping around cubical from one corner to the other and punishing the villains with a painful butt kick, these are just so JC moves! From beginning till the end, the film has a touch of humour in every scene.

For the ardent fan of JC or action comedy, CZ12 is a must watch!
