Although Jackie Chan's new Hollywood fans know him chiefly for such light-hearted romps as Rush Hour, when he was in Hong Kong he didn't shy away from harder-edged material. This is a prime example: an action-packed thriller, based loosely on the real-life epidemic of kidnapping that once plagued the former colony. Chan, in a serious role playing a cop hunting for a missing businessman, keeps the comic mugging down to bearable levels, but still comes up trumps in some dazzling martial arts action, less fancy but more realistic than some of his later films.

There is less action and more acting than usual from its star in a tough and tense thriller, which builds to a satisfactory climax.
