Fluffy and forgettable; the plot was rather silly and extremely predictable, but the movie was nonetheless a lot of fun.

There's a sequence that goes from an awesome fight scene with Jackie Chan and a woman assassin straight into a motorcycles-vs.-taxicab chase with a taxicab driver who wants to be an American superspy that is just loaded with clever stunts and overall hilarity.

There's a goofy place in the middle where our heroes quarrel and the soundtrack plays "Sorry Seems to be the Hardest Word" while they separately think about each other. Really, amateurs - by which I mean movie directors - shouldn't try to make slash music videos.

The bit early on with the nun translating for the French-speaking criminal could have been appallingly tasteless but I found the scene very funny the way they played it. Lots of great Parisian scenery and a climactic battle on, in, and around the Eiffel Tower.
