The Rush Hour movie franchise is unfortunately downgraded for TV, right down to the casting of... unknowns Hires and Foo as Carter and Lee. They may be aware they're in a buddy cop show, but lack any of the chemistry that such a pairing should entail.

CBS's Rush Hour doesn't outshine the original movie, or even the sequel, but I guess it's somewhat better than the third one. That doesn't seem like high praise, I know, and that's because it isn't.
April 01, 2016
It's a formula that worked for three movies that grossed nearly $1 billion, so why change it for television? Well, that would make sense if the TV version kept Chan and Tucker.
March 31, 2016
The comedy is rote, the dialogue is wooden, and the performances by Justin Hires and Jon Foo, in the Tucker and Chan roles respectively, are nil.
March 30, 2016
Landing with a dull thud in the middle of a small-screen landscape that's increasingly driven by movements toward narrative ingenuity and diversity of perspective, Rush Hour is ultimately just another cop show, and not a very fun one at that.
April 01, 2016
There are indications that The Powers That Be (which include Cougar Town vets Bill Lawrence and Blake McCormick) are well aware of what does and does not work about the film 18 years later.
April 01, 2016
Saddled with having to recreate a two hour movie in 45 minutes, Foo and Hires feel like they are doing impressions of their predecessors, and it cuts into their natural charm and rhythm.
April 05, 2016
Bloody reboot swimming in shootouts, outdated stereotypes.
March 30, 2016
Can't rush to judgment here. Future episodes, absent the pilot's pyrotechnics, should play significantly different.
