Title: Not a typical Jackie Chan movie
Review: This is not your typical Jackie Chan movie. It is not a comedy, Jackie Chan is not the star and he actually dies at the end. This is a prison movie that steals a lot from Paul Newman's 1960's movie "Cool Hand Luke", only without the humor. I suggest anyone born in the 70's or 80's rent "Cool Hand Luke" for comparison. Paul Newman's version is a lot better. "The Prisoner" also steals a scene from Burt Reynold's "The Longest Yard"Even though this movie isn't very good, (it has all the prison movie cliches) I liked seeing Jackie Chan expanding his range, he can do serious work.To me, the most interesting thing about this movie is recognizing the scenes stolen from other movies.
Is the review positive or negative?
