| Review Summary and Plot Commentary about The Accidental Spy |
Jackie Chan is at it again with a recent film that actually takes a rather dramatic side to things. Chan plays a man named Jackie, who works at a physical education store in China. He learns that they may have found his father and who goes to visit him and soon finds out that he was a spy for Korea. When his father dies, Jackie goes on a quest to find something that his father left him clues to find. He ends up in a drug scandel and is being chased around Turkey. The story continues with him falling in love with a memer of the badguys and her being killed.
