Stylish, take-no prisoners kung fu carnage
After a series of mis-fires Jackie returned to The East for another outing in the Police Story saga. The first film is one of his best, often imitated but never bettered. The third film of the series must rate as one of the best sequels ever made, as Jackie teams up with Michelle Yeoh in action city central.
The years may be sneaking up on Chan but if New Police Story is a sign of things to come then the old snake is still putting up a good fight. With a little light relief thrown in for good measure.
The film certainly starts out a little darker. Jackie battles with inner demons, not to mention those of the alcoholic variety in the opening act. Soon the story kicks in though and we are back in familiar territory. Wild stunts, big explosions, a little mild comic relief. The body count is high but the stunts are just as impressive. A stand out fight scene takes place in a Lego store, vintage Jackie Chan indeed.
Nicholas Tse and Charlene Choi offer youthful spirit in the supporting roles and though the final outcome may not convert new fans to the ways of Jackie Chan, old fans will relish this return to form for one of action cinemas very best.
really hard to watch, very frustrating, soooooooo slow to get started ..yawn!!! not as much action as id hoped for!
