Gene Seymour in Newsday describes the movie as "a whirring, soulless pop product for those who don't expect much more from a movie beyond cheap laughs and frantic diversion." Manohla Dargis in the New York Times calls it "junky, clunky, grimly unfunny ... a generically crummy action flick" but then points out that the previous two Rush Hour films earned nearly $600 million between them. "Bad reviews won't make a lick of difference to [the latest film's] box office, though franchise fatigue might." |
