(2016) is a high-octane blend of action, comedy, and war that brings martial arts legend Jackie Chan back to the era of World War II for a patriotic yet playful caper. Directed by Ding Sheng , this 123-minute spectacle follows a ragtag group of ordinary Chinese workers who become unlikely heroes against the Japanese occupation. The Story: Misfits on a Mission

: At 62, Chan proves he’s still a master of physical comedy and creative choreography. While the film relies more on ensemble action than solo martial arts, Ma Yuan’s "talk less, do more" attitude provides plenty of classic Chan moments.

Set in December 1941, the film focuses on (Chan), a simple railroad porter who leads a secret band of "freedom fighters" known as the Railroad Tigers . While the group initially spends their time pulling off small-scale train heists to feed the poor, their mission takes a deadly turn when they encounter a wounded soldier from the Eighth Route Army.

: For those missing the playful tone of older Hong Kong action comedies like Project A , this film captures a similar "Robin Hood-style" spirit.
