I saw "Vanguard", starring Jackie Chan-The Foreigner, the Rush Hour movies; Miya Muqi-Kung Fu Yoga, Tomb Robber; Brahim Chab-Abduction, Dragonwolf and Ruohan Xu-this is her first movie.
I guess it depends on whether or not you are a Jackie Chan fan-I am-but if you are, you should enjoy this movie. It does have a little less Jackie-he is getting just a tad bit older, being 66-but the stunts and fights are pretty amazing. Jackie plays the head of a security and VIP protection service called Vanguard-that is one of the excuses for less Jackie, being behind a desk. An accountant has been kidnapped and Vanguard are called in to save the day. Vanguard saves the book keeper but his daughter Ruohan, is taken as a hostage/leverage to get what the bad guys want. Jackie does participate in some action/fight scenes but leaves the majority of it to his younger and highly trained agents, such as Miya. Brahim is the kidnapper that has to face Jackie's elite squad, but Brahim has his own mercenary soldiers that really love to get into scraps. There are lots of cool stunts-I really liked the flying skateboard-and fights, as well as car chases and gun battles. Oh yeah, the screening I was attending had sub_titles and there are the usual bloopers and out takes during the end credits that accompany a Jackie Chan movie.
I didn't notice a rating but it had violence-not too bloody-and had a running time of 1 hour & 48 minutes.
I really liked it and would buy it on Blu_Ray.
