Pluskylang Great Film overall
Odelecol Pretty good movie overall. First half was nothing special but it got better as it went along.
ThrillMessage There are better movies of two hours length. I loved the actress'performance.
Casey Duggan It’s sentimental, ridiculously long and only occasionally funny
kaya esmer As a young kid with no hopes all dream i was lost is the big wide world. However one day, mother bought a VHS of a film.. The film, Mr Nice Guy. Now I'm not over exaggerating when i say this film changed my life. I went from "Hey can i ask Sophie on a date" To "So when you gonna be on me bed?" This inner confidence has brought me so much joy to so much success. From the fantastic character development to the eye watering heartfelt scenes. All this wrapped together with action that will leave you horny and confused. So Thank you Jackie, For ever.Love Kaya
mstomaso Jackie Chan plays a famous TV chef ("Jackie"). One day on his way to dinner at his assistant's (Karen McLymont) house, Jackie runs into a female TV reporter (Gabrielle Fitzpatrick) who is running away from two ruthless gangs who want to take from her a video tape of a murder they have committed. Jackie defends her and becomes a target. Once one of the gangs kidnaps Jackie's girlfriend (Miki Lee), the standard Chan formula kicks in and ... no more Mr. Nice Guy.Chan fans know what to expect out of Samo Hung-directed Jackie Chan films - simple but sympathetic heroes, very unpleasant antagonists, a standard martial arts plot with some new twists and a great deal of amazing action sequences featuring Chan's incredible physical talent. Mr. Nice Guy delivers nicely on this formula and Hung even throws in a very amusing directoral cameo. Filmed in Los Angeles and Australia (in order to allow Chan to do his own stunts), Mr Nice Guy makes great use of setting - Chan's best stunts and some of the wildest action sequences take place on construction sets in Melbourne. Some of the acting is a little below par, but Chan, Lee, Fitzpatrick and Norton contribute quite a lot to the film.Recommended for Chan fans, Martial Arts fans - also a good introduction to Jackie Chan for those who are not familiar.
Jackson Booth-Millard When you see bits of this you expect it to be quite fun, and then when you read the review by critics you can agree with what their saying. Based in Melbourne, Australia, this story sees Jackie Chan as Jackie (LOL), a popular TV cook with great food talents, and knowledge of martial arts. His life is turned upside down when TV Journalist Diana (Gabrielle Fitzpatrick) has taped evidence of a drug lord, Giancarlo 'The Saint' Lucchetti (Richard Norton) doing his "business", and on her way out is spotted, and has to run. She runs into Jackie in the street and they getaway after a little struggle, but it gets worse they accidentally mix up her tape or the crime, and his tape of his cookery show. The bad guys are now after Jackie, who they think has the tape, but what he and they don't realise is that one of Jackie's nephews nicked it. There is also a point where Jackie's girlfriend Miki (Miki Lee, LOL again) is kidnapped and threatened for ransom, so this is when we know, "No More Mr. Nice Guy". Also starring Karen McLymont as Lakeisha, Vince Poletto as Romeo, Barry Otto as Baggio and the director Sammo Hung Kam-Bo as Cyclist. The action, stunt and chase sequences as with most of Chan's films are very fun and quite exciting, including a stunt involving a power saw, but I agree with critics two star (out of five) opinion, because the acting is rubbish, and the story could have used a bit of work too, but it is certainly a film for Chan and stunt fans. Jackie Chan was number 41 on The 100 Greatest Movie Stars. Okay!
callanvass This is a fun enough Jackie Chan film, that's nothing special, but it's quite enjoyable and well worth the watch!. All the characters were great, and some of the stunts were incredible, plus Jackie Chan is simply amazing in this!. Jackie has done a lot better, however this is still quite fun to watch, as it's got plenty of action to keep one entertained, and Jackie and Gabrielle Fitzpatrick had good chemistry together, plus The finale was very cool!. Sammo Hung has a very funny cameo, and the fight scenes were great, plus Richard Norton is awesome as the main villain!. All the characters are very likable, and as usual Jackie brings some great comic relief, plus Richard Norton really seemed to be enjoying himself here. The opening was very cool, and Jackie did his usual amazing stunts, plus it was entertaining throughout!. This is a fun enough Jackie Chan film, that's nothing special, but it's quite enjoyable, and well worth the watch!. The Direction is good. Sammo Hung does a good job here, with great camera work, great angles, and keeping the film at a fast pace!. Th Acting is great!. Jackie Chan is AMAZING as always, and is amazing here, he is extremely likable, was hilarious, was actually very intense in scenes, kicked that ass, had great chemistry with Gabrielle Fitzpatrick and just did an amazing job!. (Jackie Rules!!). Richard Norton is great as the main villain, he was perfectly over the top and was a lot of fun to watch, i loved him!.Gabrielle Fitzpatrick is stunningly gorgeous!, and is fantastic here, she seemed to be enjoying herself, had great chemistry with Jacie, and was very sexy!. Miki Lee does okay here, but it somewhat bland, and only had so so chemistry with Jackie. Karen McLymont does fine with what she had to do, and had a lot of spunk, i liked her lots. Rest of the cast do okay. Overall well worth the watch!. *** out of 5
