The Medallion
“Follow the mystery. Fight the enemy. Discover the power of The Medallion.”
Certified Crap. CrapScore 66, rated by 1 admin.
Higher CrapScores mean more entertainingly bad. How we score movies.
A detective's encounter with a mysterious medallion gives him extraordinary powers and a new set of pursuers. Jackie Chan's physical gifts share space with digital superheroics and an awkward international comedy. Enjoyable action survives, but the stripped-down story leaves too many gaps between the attractions.
