Chinese Zodiac (2013)


Description:
The main character of the story - working around the world treasure hunter named JC Hawk. The well-known antique dealer offers him a rare find six figurines in the form of animal heads. At one time, these bronze sculptures come in sets of 12 subjects, who personified the zodiac signs. Figurines adorned the legendary fountain of the Summer Palace on the outskirts of Beijing. In 1860 the majestic building was looted and destroyed by British and French troops at the end of the Second Opium War, and the statues lost.
First JC team mates go to France, because the two statues are stored in one of the French collectors. During the operation to seize the bronze sculptures of well-guarded castle JC meets Coco - Chinese student studying in Paris. Girl takes an active part in the global campaign for the return of lost cultural property to the countries from which they were removed. Along the way, JC is making the worst enemy in the person of Pierre, the chief of the Chateau Marceau. However, the treasure hunter finds a faithful friend in the person of Catherine impoverished aristocrat, in the house where he found one of the statuettes. Coco and Catherine join the company Hawk.
The group sent a new cast on a tropical island, where the wreckage of a stranded ship buried two more statues. In the tropics, Jay C and his friends opposed motley gang of pirates. Only through the perfect fighting skills of the hero can not prevail. Back home, JC is surprised to learn that the mysterious customer has collected six other statuettes. There is nothing surprising in the fact that Hawk is going to teach him a lesson in good manners.

My impression of the film:
Jackie - a great actor. But in this film, he decided to do everything myself, and all failed. Acting is decent, but he was not twenty, or even thirty years, does not have that enthusiasm and fire. Yes, he looks young, but the game is not the same as in the past. A selection of other actors, direction generally low. He should have just produced and played and otstalnoe would make these spices. In general, the great do not be shy to go by the wayside. They - great.
