Ultimately, _Ride On_ was the first film of 2023 to make me cry and the first one in a long while – possibly ever! – to make me ugly cry. If you’re a pet owner or animal lover, _Ride On_ just mercilessly punches your gut and plays a sorrowful symphony on your heartstrings. This is the best Jackie Chan film to come along in at least six years and easily the most emotional film of his career. Genuinely touching with a heart wrenching story that’s as gripping as it is moving, _Ride On_ delivers fast paced action with a side of uncontrollable crying and poignant satisfaction. **Full review:** https://boundingintocomics.com/2023/04/11/ride-on-review-a-galloping-chinese-drama-that-wallops-your-tear-ducts/

I really wanted to like Ride On but its syrupy, sentimentalism, left me feeling queasy. I've seen a lot of Asian films and series and my guess is this would play very well, with Asian audiences. This Western reviewer however, found it inaccessible. Too schmaltzy, sugary sentimental, for me to digest. The film plays to Jackie Chan's strengths. His martial arts and stunt skills, are front and centre. His relationship with his best friend the horse, is a clever innovation too. In summary, not for me but if you like things extra sweet, this is certainly not a film you should go past.
