Rush Hour (1998)

98 mins     Action , Comedy, Thriller      

There is part of me which likes "Rush Hour" and then there is a part which sadly doesn't. The part of me which likes "Rush Hour" in fact likes what Jackie Chan brings to the movie, his clever and brilliant stunt work as well ...

Rush Hour 2 (2001)

90 mins     Action , Comedy, Crime

Hercules (2014)

98 mins     Action , Adventure
