Two Action Men Get To Act.
One of the surprises in Jackie Chan's career is this little gem. Playing it straight, this is a touching story of family loyalty and commitment as Jackie has to hold down a job as a police officer and take care of his mentally ill older brother, played with sensitivity and realism by the film's director, Sammo Hung. So concerned with everything looking right in this film, Sammo refused to do any fighting, even though the film studio expected it.
Torn between looking after his brother and getting away and joining the navy, Jackie bearly fights either until the last explosive twenty minutes, when we get some rough and aggressive fighting, again far removed from what you would expect from Mr. Chan.
If you like a more mature drama with a bit of action this one is definately for you. Jackie proves he can act, but Sammo Hung proves again that he is one of the greatest film makers to come out of China. -
