Medallion, The : Movie Review


Stop me if you’ve heard this one before. In The Medallion, flailing fighter Jackie Chan plays a police officer (surprise!) who botches an important case (surprise!) and must team with an irascible Yank (surprise!) to set things straight. The plot has something to do with a mystical two-piece amulet that’s guarded by a young boy but gives the powers of flight, invulnerability, and more to whomever holds either of the trinket’s halves.

Don’t ask too many questions, though, because Medallion doesn't have the answers. How does the glorified hood ornament provide these miraculous powers? And why does this boy have it in the first place? Clunky, tired, and totally illogical, the screenplay can’t hold up to the slightest bit of scrutiny.
