Highbinders is an Jackie Chan action comedy co-starring Claire Forlani and Julian Sands. Chan stars as Eddie, an indomitable Hong Kong cop who, after a near-fatal accident involving a mysterious medallion, is suddenly transformed into a Highbinder -- an immortal warrior with superhuman powers. Eddie enlists the help of fellow agent Nicole (Claire Forlani) to determine the secret of the medallion and face down the evil Highbinders who so desperately want it back.

Chan's still the man with the chopping hands and the winning personality. Let's face it, Jet Li makes him look like Olivier by comparison. This brainless and harmless flick should pass a couple of hours.
