Crime Story Reviews
I LIKED THE FACT THAT THIS WAS DIFFERENT, BUT...
IN ONE OF HIS MORE SERIOUS OUTINGS, JACKIE CHAN PLAYS A COP WHO'S LOOKING TO SOLVE THE CASE OF A KIDNAPPING THAT'S ACTUALLY BEING MASTERMINDED BY THE COP HE'S ASSIGNED TO BE PARTNERED WITH. THERE'S NOT VERY MUCH MARTIAL ARTS HERE, BUT THERE IS PLENTY OF ACTION AND IT'S A GOOD STORY. IF YOU'RE A FAN OF JACKIE'S MARTIAL ARTS-COMEDIES, YOU MIGHT NOT WANNA WATCH THIS FILM. BUT IF YOU'RE A FAN OF THE ''DIRTY HARRY''-STYLE COP FILMS, THEN THIS IS FOR YOU. BASED ON REAL-LIFE EVENTS.
Jackie goes serious.
This is not your typical Jackie movie, this is Jackie in serious mode. Although the film has some of the best martial artistry of Jackie and lots of action, like buildings burning and blowing up and some intense car chases fans didn't like it. You don't see Jackie in silly situations and fooling around. This was an attempt by Jackie to expand his range and he got the respect as a serious actor because he won the Taipei's best actor award. It's also interesting to know that the film was originally developed for Jet Li but he had a falling out with Golden Harvest. If you like stunts and action buy this one, if you like a silly Jackie don't.
