Review of Shinjuku Incident (2009) by Chieng-Kiat W — 22 Apr 2009
Shinjuku incident is a dark but pretty entertaining story of chinese immigrants in tokyo in the 90s. jackie chan does his best to act, but somehow the teary scenes in which he tries to squeeze out his eyes doesn't really impress.
ok but just not impressed. it's also kinda strange when the usual martial arts exponent he is getting beat and he doesn't dish out to his enemies the usual kungku kicks. daniel wu shows he is indeed one of the finer young actors in HK these days with his character turning from meek lamb trying to do good to a meek lamb trying to act bad and tough.
the way in which his transition happened is the most impressionable part of the movie and I cannot help but feel sorry for the way things turned out in the end.
