What follows is a post-setup hour of imaginative action and dazzling stunt work, all taking place on one of cinema’s great self-metaphors: a speeding train changing scenes every few seconds and heading toward an unknown destination.

Sadly, Cheng is often too interested with all of his narrative threads to just allow the action and fun to unfold.

The Jackie Chan wartime caper Railroad Tigers never builds up steam.

Jackie Chan's latest China-set action comedy revolves around a team of saboteurs who target Japanese soldiers during World War II.

For 75 years, the U.S. has dominated the production of World War II action comedies.

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

However disjointed Railroad Tigers can be, the film offers a much-needed reminder of Jackie Chan’s prodigious gifts.

It’s heartening to see Mr. Chan, who plays the avuncular leader of the guerrillas, demonstrating that he’s still game, but you wish his energy were being expended in more consistently enjoyable pictures.

You can tell a lot about a director by how they direct a train sequence. With scenes that required locomotive management just as much as filmmaking precision, directors ranging from Buster Keaton to Justin Lin (for “The General” and “Fast Five,” respectively) created classic spectacle out of playing with (and then destroying) trains.

If Jackie Chan is the Buster Keaton of today, then this Chinese action movie is his spin on the Great Stone Face's 'The General.'
