Jackie Chan made a name for himself doing crazy stunts. Without the aid of visual effects or stunts-doubles he regularly puts his own life on the line to get the shot, which pays off in a major way in an action film like this.

The Americans have made their share of remakes based on Asian films, so it seems only fair the Asians should return the favor and have a crack at a Hollywood film. "Connected", the Asian version of the 2004 action movie "Cellular", is by no means the first Hong Kong remake, but it is one of the best.

I've had this film sitting on the shelf since its original release. I finally got around to seeing it, because rumors started to emerge on the internet that this somehow was the inspiration for the Oscar winning American film "Juno".
