I admit it; when I see Jackie Chan's name on anything, I'm instintly curious about what has he gotten himself into this time. In his latest release The Spy Next Door, he plays....wait for it....A Chinese National who has been "loaned" out to the CIA (at this point in time I'd like to point out that the likleyhood that the Chinese government would loan out anyone to the United States is beyond words I can use in a family friendly article). Yeah, raise your hand if you've scene a version of this before. Seriously though, Jackie is at home in the film. You get exactly what you expect from him; moments of unbelievable martial arts skill and the predictable slapstick.
