Movie ReviewJackie Chan’s bread and butter has always been his otherworldly ability to take any prop, use it as a fighting weapon, and make the subsequent action sequence look like poetry in motion.
What’s always been attractive about watching Chan in action is the lack of artifice involved in selling his fight scenes to audiences. There’s no need for CGI effects, wirework, or stunt doubles when you’ve got Chan. So why are all those tricks necessary in “The Medallion?” Chan’s getting up in age but clearly he’s still able to satisfy his fans without the need for all the choppy editing, speeded up scenes, and other intrusive effects.
