The Tuxedo (2002) 6/10

Starring : Jackie Chan, Jennifer Love Hewitt, Jason Isaacs, Debi Mazar, Ritchie Coster, Peter Stormare
Director : Kevin Donovan
Running Time : 95 mins

Jimmy Tong (Chan) gets a job with millionaire Clark Devlin as his chauffeur, but when Devlin is injured and ends up in the hospital, Jimmy unknowingly tries on one of his tuxedos, only to discover that the suit gives the wearer fantastic powers. Now he finds himself being paired off with a scientist named Dell Blain (Hewitt) as they attempt to battle against the forces of evil while his boss recovers in hospital from his injuries.

Despite basically being a Kung Fu version of Inspector Gadget, this was still a reasonably entertaining movie. Chan is his usual chirpy self, with Jennifer Love Hewitt providing the sex appeal, but for those who really prefer Chan’s action movies to his comedies this probably won’t quite satisfy you enough.
