...Western action stars? Chan has been in nearly 100 films since he did bit parts as a child actor. Li's been making movies nonstop for 26 years. Shouldn't their bodies, let alone their audiences, have given up by now? Steven Seagal made fewer than 20 features. Jean-Claude Van Damme had about a decade's worth of wide releases. Arnold Schwarzenegger managed 20 years of action stardom, and he's considered the gold standard...

But there are plenty of scenes in which Jean apes your typical gangsta rapper, driving a bright yellow sports car from three feet behind the wheel and wearing thugged-out glasses that are more Kanye than they are Wyclef. It’s a nice change to see Wyclef trading in his dreads for a little bling, especially since...
