Susan Stark, Detroit News: More than a martial arts whiz, the 41-year-old Chan possesses the comic timing of a born clown, the grace of a Broadway hoofer and the daredevil bravado of an Evel Knievel. Read more

Stephen Holden, New York Times: A giddy triple somersault of a film that makes no sense whatsoever, although in its best moments it is as much fun to watch as a death-defying circus act. Read more

Jonathan Rosenbaum, Chicago Reader: It's light on plot and character, but the stunts are well staged. Read more

Kenneth Turan, Los Angeles Times: For once a film's ad line has a whiff of truth about it: 'No Fear. No Stuntman. No Equal.' Read more

Owen Gleiberman, Entertainment Weekly: Read more

James Berardinelli, ReelViews: Unlike most action stars, Chan understands acting. His face is as flexible as his body, and, when he's moving, he's like a violent, supercharged combination of Gene Kelly, Fred Astaire, and Buster Keaton. Read more

Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times: The whole point is Jackie Chan - and, like Astaire and Rogers, he does what he does better than anybody. Read more

Mick LaSalle, San Francisco Chronicle: An awkward hybrid of Asian and American film techniques. Read more

Time Out: Chan's insistence on his own fallibility and vulnerability, taken with virtuoso scenes like the fight involving 101 domestic appliances, shows why he means more to his countless fans than six US action stars put together. Read more

Desson Thomson, Washington Post: It's not often you find a movie as exciting and awful as Rumble in the Bronx. Read more
