    An old face. A new story.

    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.

    chan's best film to date

    New Police Story – Jackie Chan has always used the Police Story series as a kind of safety net whenever his career hits a rough patch. The original was his response to his disastrous US cop movie The Protector while the third entry was his attempt to recapture local audiences after a few high-profile failures. With his recent Hollywood outings scraping the concrete beneath the bottom of the barrel (The Tuxedo, Around the World in 80 Days, Rush Hour 2) he's gone back to Hong Kong and basics again. However, this time round he takes a few more chances, abandoning his old comic character and supporting cast (Maggie Cheung, Uncle Bill) for a comparatively darker outing as a broken-down cop drinking his way to oblivion after some thrill-seeking rich kids led by a typically OTT Daniel Wu kill his entire team. Naturally redemption is on the menu, but the stunts aren't quite as over-the-top or as plentiful as before, while the (intentional) comedy is kept to a minimum. It's not up to the standards of his best work in the past, but it's light-years ahead of his US pictures and is a welcome return to form even if Chan's fight scenes fall short of his former glories (that said, there is a good bus sequence and an imaginative chase down the side of a building).
