The problem with this movie is that they try to be funny and solemn in the same breath. That simply doesn't work.
You have a villain who's not really a full-blown villain, but an unhappy man with a bunch of loyal followers who believed in him. His plan is simple -- to steal some oil, and everybody shares a cut of the loot/profit. It's hard not to to be sympathetic towards his plight, or be impressed by the loyalty his men towards him. Yes, he is a bad man, but he is a bad man with a reason.
Then you have the good guy, who is seemingly unaffected by the death of his own brother. He is like this goofy, happy go lucky guy, who's cracking jokes all the time, even at the inappropriate time. John Cena's best role is as Peacemaker. That series was amazing.
And then there's Jackie Chan, who's always apologizing on screen to his daughter. His children had a good life, but somehow Chan feels that all their misdeeds and misdemeanors were attributed to his actions/inactions.
