Plot
East meets West again when the assassination of Ambassador Han leads to the reunion of Lee and Carter. In Paris, the pair must stay one step ahead of Chinese gangsters, and Lee's childhood friend, as they track down an envelope containing the identity of a powerful crime lord.

Why It Sucks

 * 1) The film lacks the charm of the first two films.
 * 2) It has a poor script. And this is because Brett Ratner didn't bother on writing one until three days before filming began, despite having six entire years to write it.

Reception
Rush Hour 3 received almost negative reviews. On Rotten Tomatoes, the film has an approval rating of 18% based on 158 reviews, with an average rating of 4.2/10. The site's critical consensus reads, "Rush Hour 3 is a tired rehash of earlier films, and a change of scenery can't hide a lack of new ideas". Todd Gilchrist of IGN movies said, "A movie that not only depends on but demands you don't think in order to enjoy it". On Metacritic, the film has a score of 44 out of 100, based on 32 critics, indicating "mixed or average reviews".
