Two and a half stars

Twin Dragons

(Miramax)

Jackie Chan plays both sides of twins separated at birth: a world-renowned pianist and conductor, and a rough-and-tumble auto mechanic with Speed Racer driving skills and top-flight martial-arts expertise. Mistaken identities and near-meetings factor in large as the two Chans weave through the congested streets of Hong Kong; the action gets a big boost from the always engaging Maggie Cheung and a ditzy, curvaceous Nina Chi Li as the love interests of the brothers. There's nothing cerebral here, just entertaining fluff that will make your jaw drop.
