Why people love it

People revisit Chinese Zodiac for the same reason it broke through in 2012: clear stakes, memorable faces, and a adventure rhythm that doesn't stall in the middle. Jackie Chan keeps the ensemble pointed in one direction. The action and adventure blend is the engine: it lets the film shift registers without feeling like two different movies stitched together.
