"Little Big Soldier" is absolutely an odd-couple alley flick set during China's Warring States period. The war drama, spiced with the accepted Jackie Chan comedy, has been Jackie's abstraction for 20 years afore assuredly hitting the big screen. Chan had initially planned to ball the role of the adolescent accepted but accepting age-old since, he has to achieve for the role of the aged soldier. Well, accepting apparent Jackie as the titular character, I accept no complaints. He provides the role with its requisite agreeableness and acquaintance that it is so accessible to basis for him. A auspicious change from cool comedies like "The Spy Next Door", I may add.
Jackie plays an bearding soldier from the Liang State who survives an ambuscade by Qin armament that decimates the 2000-strong Liang army. The average soldier, who feigns afterlife rather than fight, captures a adolescent Wei accepted (Wang Leehom) and affairs to 'trade' him for a artifice of acreage as reward.
Along the way, however, captor and bound face a host of mishaps, misadventures and artifice twists - and they accept to aggregation up in adjustment to survive.
As Jackie's own project, you can be abiding of the brand Jackie stunts and angel boosts. Playing a agriculturalist forcibly affected into war, Jackie's bulletin (or ego massage) is that war is bad for the people, birds and the environment. He throws in lots of ball and sometimes the ball borders on the ridiculous.
Still, these are forgivable because it is accessible to like Jackie's and LeeHom's characters. They accept a sparkling awning allure that helps us discount the plot-holes and lapses in logic. What's added important is that "Little Big Soldier" has a cornball feel, reminding us of Jackie's abstract like "Drunken Master" and "Snake In The Eagle's Shadow"
