À Galope
Enredo
Enquanto o sol se põe sobre as ruas empoeiradas de uma pequena cidade, Jack (interpretado por John Cena), um dublê antes celebrado, se vê lutando para sobreviver. Suas acrobacias icônicas e ousadas deram lugar a trabalhos comerciais humilhantes, e sua égua fiel, Luna, se tornou mais um fardo do que uma parceira. Com os cobradores de dívidas se aproximando de sua pequena fazenda, o desespero de Jack atinge novos patamares. Um dia fatídico, enquanto eles estão tentando se defender dos credores implacáveis, uma discussão acalorada se transforma em uma luta improvisada entre Jack e os cobradores. O caos é flagrado por um drone que passava, e em pouco tempo, as imagens granuladas se tornam virais nas redes sociais. O mundo não se cansa da briga "Dublê Decadente vs. Cobradores de Dívidas". Da noite para o dia, Jack e Luna se tornam uma sensação improvável, com memes e GIFs inundando a internet. À medida que sua notoriedade cresce, também crescem as oportunidades. De repente, Jack está recebendo ofertas de reality shows, talk shows e até alguns acordos de patrocínio de alto nível. À medida que a fama de Jack atinge novos patamares, ele é forçado a confrontar as duras realidades de seu estrelato recém-descoberto. Seus relacionamentos com entes queridos começam a se desgastar, e a pressão para manter sua nova imagem afeta Luna também. Em meio ao caos, Jack deve encontrar uma maneira de reconciliar seu verdadeiro eu com a persona em que se tornou - tudo isso enquanto mantém seus cobradores de dívidas à distância. Será que Jack conseguirá domar a fera que é sua nova fama, ou ela o consumirá por completo? Poderão ele e Luna superar esse turbilhão de loucura das redes sociais, ou serão derrubados da carroça?
Resenhas
Catalina
Jackie Chan's Native American look instantly brings back memories of "Who Am I?". In the film, we see glimpses of him reading the script for "New Police Story" on set, and references to his most serious injury during the filming of "Armour of God." The montage of flashback action sequences, performed without a stunt double, feels like a heartfelt tribute from Jackie himself. Similar to Andy Lau's song "Seventeen," this movie is a retrospective and homage to Jackie Chan's acting career. "If there are no real falls, what will the audience watch... paying tribute means doing it exactly like before: keeping it real!" Choosing to do this is a lifetime commitment, and their era will never truly be over.

Attended an early screening of Ride On, and they say life imitates art. I was moved to tears several times by the connection between Jackie Chan, his horse, and his daughter. However, knowing how Jackie Chan handled the "Little Dragon Girl" incident in real life, the contrast felt somewhat ironic. Liu Haocun is everywhere; it's quite off-putting! In the end, a salute to all those who have dedicated themselves silently to the film industry.

Undeniably, Jackie Chan's dedication is admirable. However, watching him put on a show of deep father-daughter affection feels incredibly forced and jarring. One can't help but wonder what his real-life estranged daughter, "Little Dragon Girl," might think when seeing this "deeply moving" bond between a father and Liu Haocun on screen. Frankly, it's stomach-churning. The movie attempts to grab attention by piling on various comedians and exploiting "Stuntmen" nostalgia, but the jokes fall flat, and the sentimentality feels contrived and insincere. (The combination of Yang Zi, Jackie Chan, and the Deyun She's Young Master was a red flag for a bad movie. It was my fault for having any expectations!)
Bonnie
If the story focused solely on the bond between Dragon and his horse, it would be even more powerful and resonant.

"When a washed-up stuntman and his horse become viral sensations, you know the plot is wilder than any of their stunts!"
Isla
The story of a washed-up stuntman and his horse turning viral after a real-life debt clash feels like a wild ride of both luck and consequences. It’s as entertaining as it is thought-provoking, blending humor with a sharp critique of modern life.
