    Usually Jackie Chan's movies have a substantial amount of humor in them, usually intermixed with the action sequences. To me that has always been a draw, as the dangerous stunt seem choreographed and flawless, the outtakes show a much more painful reality. But the finished work is usually awe inspiring. With this new addition to the Police Story saga, Jackie goes for broke. It's a melange of eastern Hong Kong movie styles and Western Styles. Jackie's inspector ends up falling victim to his own ego and must face of with a band of criminals who aren't in it for the money. They see it as a game, and even make it into a video game. the Inspector starts off rather gung ho, and ends up struggling just to survive and to keep his head above water. With a mysterious partner, he ends up finishing the job, but at a high cost. The action sequences are top notch and vertigo-inducint at times. But, with this film, the plot actually matters, this isn't just a mindless action flick (not that there is anything wrong with that). Jackie Chan seems to want to show off his acting chops in this one, and does a really great job. The action sequences never seem forced, and fits well within the over-the-top villians who are in it for the chaos. There are undertones of the "like father, like son" issue going on (on both sides of the coin) to show the influence parents have in the lives of their children. And all it takes is either one act of kindness or an act of viciousness to turn a child's life either around, or send it down the tubes. I really did like this movie. It seemed to have a lot of Western sensibilities mixed in with Hong Kong filmmaking techniques and I think that makes this movie more universal (even if it is dubbed). If you are a fan of cop dramas, action movies, martial arts, or Jackie Chan then this is a definite must have.

    This movie was different than others. Jackie Chan's acting abilities were really showcased in this film. I really enjoyed this film. Jackie was wonderful and the action was not disappointing. This is a more adult film due to it's topic but not in a way to deter a family night. It is more adult in subject and story way than not in sex and drugs and other inappropriate ways.

    I've seen a lot of Jackie Chan movies; including the ones he did when he wasn't as popular and in his 20s. This has to be the most intense and darkest movie I have seen of his. This is because of the way they showed how some of the people died and Jackie Chan's connection to them. The movie did have characters that were inserted for comic relief and Jackie Chan's character had some comedic scenes.
    I was trying to do some work while watching this but it was too interesting to just have on as background noise. The only thing that bothered me was the demeanor of the girlfriend. It just didn't seem to fit well with what was happening, but maybe I missed something. The stunts and action scenes were standard for a Jackie Chan movies so you won't be disappointed about that. The other thing that bother me is the voice over acting. I wish they would just film it in their native tongue or let them speak in English and use captions. Sometimes the voice over actors put too much emotions or too little emotion in their voice for certain scenes. Sometimes it throws me off because I am trying to read the actor's facial expression or body language and the voice throws me back into reality for a few seconds.

    I've long been a fan of Jackie's films. He breathed new life into the genre like no other with his humorous style of combat; and it's inspiring to still see him move like he does at his age. The action in The New Police Story were just as fun as most of his lighter films; and the stunts were typically incredible, just as you expect from a Hong Kong production that isn't stiffled by Hollywood politics and/or insurance. And despite the more dramatic seriousness of Police Story, with a little Drunken Master mixed in, I found myself laughing much more than I expected. Aside from a few sequences that demand a little further explanation, The New Police Story was about as much fun as my favorite Chan films. The only real disappointment of the Blu-ray was that Lionsgate didn't include a lossless track for the original language. A lossless audio option is provided for the dub track; but only lossy audio is included in the original Chinese. That said, since I had a guest that doesn't like reading her movies, I opted for the dubbed track when we watched it and was surprised at the fidelity. The translation was word-for-word the same as the subtitles in the approx 5 minute portion of the film I compared the two. And the harmonics sounded very natural and dynamic. That Jackie did (most) of the voice dub for his character himself, further helped to make sitting through the dubbed track, not only bearable, but enjoyable.

    Jacky Chan does it again. This time the role he is playing a more serious role. He still does what he is good in and he blends well with all other young stars. The story line quite good and the action is great as compared with his age.

    I really enjoyed watching this film. I have watched all the classic Police Story series from way back and this one does not disappoint. Jackie Chan portrays a realistic character that you can relate to, and is actually very good at portraying raw emotional feelings which you would probably not expect he would. Nicholas Tse is very convincing as his side kick and does a good job with all the action scenes.

    This is a story about a group of bank robbers that foil the police at every turn. Jackie Chan plays a very good and believable role as one of the officers leading the team, trying to arrest the gang. If you like any Jackie Chan movies then this should be no exception. I recommend you buy it.
