Skiptrace is a 2016 buddy cop action comedy film directed by Renny Harlin, produced, starring and based on a story by Jackie Chan.

[2][7] The film co-stars Johnny Knoxville and Fan Bingbing[2][8] and follows a Hong Kong detective who teams up with American gambler to expose the identity of a Chinese criminal.

[9][10] In Hong Kong 2007, detective Bennie Chan has been tracking notorious crime boss "Matador" – whom he believes to be businessman Victor Wong.

Nine years later, when Yung's daughter Samantha gets into trouble with Wong's crime syndicate, Chan must track down an American conman, Connor Watts, who gambles his way through Chinese casinos after being banned in America and who witnessed the murder of a woman named Esther Yee in Wong's Macau casino.

On their way to Hong Kong, however, Connor steals Chan's passport and burns it, forcing the pair to travel on foot to Mongolia, where they enjoy themselves with the Mongolians.

They are broken out of police custody by Dasha, a Siberian hitwoman, and her gang, who wish to capture Connor and bring him back to Dima but they manage to escape her pursuit.

With the assistance of Leslie, Chan's co-worker, they bypass the phone's security and finds a clue to the "Matador" identity.

[14] On 22 October 2013, it was announced that actor Seann William Scott has been added to the cast as the previously uncast gambler.

[21] Dennis Harvey of Variety magazine wrote: "Skiptrace remains lively, diverting, and essentially good-natured even when it's cheerfully dumb, exploiting its diverse locations for every last drop of local color.

"[22] Neil Genzlinger of The New York Times gave a negative review and wrote: "Skiptrace settles for a warmed-over plot, tedious fight sequences and humor that's heavy on crotch jokes and pratfalls.
