Review of Shinjuku Incident (2009) by Scott G — 26 Jul 2010

A very interesting role for jackie chan, and a diferent role, set in japan and taking in gangland, he plays a part of a group of ilegal imigrants from china, making a living in crime to survive, through some fate he makes his way up the crime ladder, not to the liking of the japanes who also run the city, a well thought drama, with a great performance from chan, no stunt work with furniture here, just inteligent scenes of power and strugle, with some violence to back it up, im not sure if han as done a film in japan before, but this is what this is, a japanes gangland film, with the biggest hong kong action star, and not using his known talents, the story takes you through to the end with a great eye.

enjoyed.
