A railroad worker and his ragtag group of freedom fighters find themselves on the wrong side of the tracks when they decide to ambush a heavily armed military train filled with desperately needed provisions. Unarmed and outnumbered, they must rely on their wits to battle an entire army.

Critics Consensus

Railroad Tigers throws a few sparks hearkening back to Jackie Chan's glory days as an action comedy star, but they're smothered by an unfocused story and jarring shifts in tone.

These shifts in tone could have been interesting if deliberately used to throw us off balance, but Sheng seems to be hoping we won't notice anything amiss.

With little to grab onto-and despite all that it offers-Railroad Tigers is far slower than a goofy action movie that mostly takes place on a locomotive should ever be.

Beyond Mr. Chan's deft work here, "Railroad Tigers," directed by Ding Sheng, is kind of a mess.

Jackie Chan stars as the Robin Hood-like leader of a merry band of rebel rail workers in this blockbusting period caper.

In the end, I can't sit here and say this is one is a must see new piece of his filmography but it might be cool to watch if comes on one day on cable or something.

These "Tigers" claw their way into a frivolous lather but whether or not Chan's latest spectacle deserves a boarding pass to enjoy the same blueprint thrills . . . well, hey . . . would you rather see the sequel "Skiptrace 2"? I rest my case . . .

This movie had its moments but not one of Jackie's best. The action was good and the ending was solid. Tim Treakle

The Chinese and Japan war movie. The Jackie Chan's style kung fu comedy is maintaining the level.

Be advised that this film is much more bloody/morbid than most Jakie Chan movies, but then it does deal with the Japanese occupation of southern China. It feels like war-time propaganda, which detracts a bit.

I loved this movie. Historical comedies are some of my favorites.
