New Police Story:

Jackie Chan returns to his 80s roots and after a string of mediocre films I can finally say I have seen a good Jackie Chan film again.

In this film Jackie plays Inspector Chan, an elite officer of the Hong Kong police. Set on tracking down a ruthless gang who kill cops just for the sport of it Chan instead becomes their next target having his entire team, including his future brother-in-law completely obliterated. This takes its toll on Chan, obviously, and he then degrades into a drunken existence until a new partner, in the form of a police wannabe played by Nicolas Tse, comes along and sets Chan straight and goes after the gang to seek justice.

The film was fantastic and unlike other Jackie Chan films, you won't see much in the way of comedy. What you will see is a lot of fights and action scenes. All in all, Chan's best film since his Who Am I and First Strike days.
