Synopsis: Jack (Chan) is a well-known Chinese archeaologist. His team and the Indian Dr Asmita (Patani) are hunting for an ancient treasure in Tibet when they are attacked by another group lead by Randall (Sood).
Review: I usually like Jackie Chan for his humour within kung-fu movies. But usually I watched him in HK movies and this one is co-produced with China. I don't know whether this is the reason, but the story-line is ridiculous and this enhanced by a lot of special effects done with visible CGI obviously exaggerated. The plot is actually good and this opens the hand to India. I found the story using many doctors in archeaology as bare excuses for a story of the treasure that is re-invented new every half an hour by newly appeared characters. This part loose completely its credibility.  Also the characters loose their credibility as the passionate Indian archaeologist becomes a stupid bimbo followed by bimbo friends, as the bad guy uses huge and super organised means to arrive promptly in a lost place in the Himalaya, but is fooled in the hotel all the time. Also the expected and announced mix of India and China, with Yoga and Kung-fu, is never, really never used. Even the title looses its credibility during the movie!  By luck some scenes are saved by Jackie Chan comedian in ridiculous situations in which he does not loose his credibility. Poor Jackie Chan! He must have been forced to play in this movie!
