(2009) The Shinjuku Incident.
(In Chinese with English subtitles).
DRAMA.
Action super star Jackie Chan attempt at drama that has something to do with Japan's Yakuza!
Something I'm not accustomed in seeing Jackie doing nor would I ever want to, that despite his age, Jackie is still able to do more stunts than most average actor can or capable to do, even as young as 20. As for the movie, I feel that they're better films made about the Yakuza than this one when it looks like the film centers on Jackie Chan's acting performance than the story itself! Takeshi Kitano's 1993 "Sonatine" and Seijun Suzuki's 1966 film "Tokyo Drifter", offer me more than about the Yakuza than this film does because it's predictable with predictable results!
2 out of 4 stars.
