Jackie Chan stars as the Robin Hood-like leader of a merry band of rebel rail workers in this blockbusting period caper.

In the end, I can't sit here and say this is one is a must see new piece of his filmography but it might be cool to watch if comes on one day on cable or something.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Jan 11, 2020

These "Tigers" claw their way into a frivolous lather but whether or not Chan's latest spectacle deserves a boarding pass to enjoy the same blueprint thrills . . . well, hey . . . would you rather see the sequel "Skiptrace 2"? I rest my case . . .

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Mar 1, 2019

This is a film that shovels a lot of coal and blows a lot more smoke but that doesn't mean it's comfy or worthwhile trip.

| Original Score: 2.5/5 | Nov 1, 2018

To be honest, I never really enjoyed movies with Jackie Chan, but this really won me over.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Sep 20, 2017

At times it's a blast but the rest of it is sustained largely by the power of Chan's charm and the grace of the clown prince of kung-fu comedy.

This is a movie that does not want you to think too much, lest you notice all its faults. It is a silly caper with the emphasis on action choreography and big set pieces -- which would be fine if the choreography and CGI were not so lacklustre.

| Original Score: 2.5/5 | Jun 29, 2017

The train heist scenes are carefully choreographed, no doubt to give Chan more leeway and CG boost, and the abundant use of explosives takes time away from real break-a-leg stunts.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Jun 21, 2017

Ding has taken one of the darkest chapter's in China's history and created an adventure story that will entertain viewers of all ages.

| Original Score: 3/5 | May 11, 2017

Chan is economical instead of eruptive, gracefully setting up gags and often sidestepping the frenetic movements of his co-stars (who include his son Jaycee).

| Original Score: 2.5/5 | Jan 27, 2017

While it's nice to see Jackie Chan return to his familiar role as the scrappy underdog hero, this incoherent action comedy doesn't provide much else besides nostalgic appeal for his fans.

Railroad Tigers is overflowing with absurd comedy. Slapstick and physical comedy take precedence over character development and a coherent story. Railroad Tigers is Jackie Chan's Monument's Men.

| Original Score: 2.75/5 | Jan 15, 2017

The movie is fatally glib in tone.

| Original Score: 2.5/5 | Jan 13, 2017

Railroad Tigers is an old-school, moderately campy adventure movie, something American directors were focused on making in the '90s (think 1995's Jumanji) but audiences have mostly relegated today to the realm of nostalgia.

| Original Score: 6.3/10 | Jan 12, 2017

[Jackie] Chan's familiar blend of action comedy is undercut by a persistent line in wince-inducing pro-China rhetoric.

| Original Score: 2.5/5 | Jan 8, 2017

Railroad Tigers is a treat.

| Original Score: 8/10 | Jan 6, 2017

These shifts in tone could have been interesting if deliberately used to throw us off balance, but Sheng seems to be hoping we won't notice anything amiss.

| Original Score: 2.5/5 | Jan 6, 2017

Uneven Jackie Chan action flick has war violence.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Jan 6, 2017

Overall a slapdash and silly movie, Railroad Tigers is still a treat to watch, even when it slips into violence and propaganda.

| Jan 6, 2017

Railroad Tigers is an action epic that wants to be a comedic goofball, as it fumbles both aspects when trying to meld them together.

| Original Score: 5/10 | Jan 6, 2017
