This is my favourite Jackie Chan movie. The story is excellent the stunts excellent and Jackies acting is the best that I have ever seen. I loved the Rush hour movies but found myself getting tired of them.
This is an all out action movie the comedy in minimal it's a dark tale of vengance.
An action packed martial arts masterpiece.

After 1993's Crime Story 11 years earlier, this was Jackie Chan's first full-on dramatic performance in a film. Apart from the Police Story in the title, there isnt any connection between this and the previous Police Story films. You dont see his trademark slapstick action scenes and comedy in this film. Those expecting that will probably be disappointed. But if you are a huge fan of Jackie and dont mind seeing him in serious mode then this film delivers.
Jackie plays an overconfident cop who leads his team of officers to apprehend a smart gang of rich kids who rob banks and kill police officers for fun. When all of Chan's team are brutally killed, Chan turns into a drunk and falls into depression over the death of his colleagues. Then Nicolas Tse's character enters and they team up to avenge his colleague's deaths.
The film isnt as action packed as one would expect from Chan's previous Police Story films but there are some noteworthy action scenes such as when Chan slides down the side of a building on a wire with his handcuffs, out of control bus crashing through the streets with Jackie on top of it which reminds you of the first police story film and his one one fight scene with a member of the gang of thieves. Worth buying to see Jackie's return to the kind of cinema he was famous for in the 1980s before his lacklustre Hollywood films in the 90s.

Jackie Chan has always used the original 'Police Story' series as a kind of safety net whenever his career hits a rough patch. The original was his response to his disastrous US cop movie 'The Protector' while the third entry was his attempt to recapture local audiences after a few high-profile failures. With his recent Hollywood outings scraping the concrete beneath the bottom of the barrel (The Tuxedo, Around the World in 80 Days, Rush Hour 2) he's gone back to Hong Kong and basics again. However, this time round he takes a few more chances, abandoning his old comic character and supporting cast (Maggie Cheung, Uncle Bill) for a comparatively darker outing as a broken-down cop drinking his way to oblivion after some thrill-seeking rich kids led by a typically OTT Daniel Wu kill his entire team. Naturally redemption is on the menu, but the stunts aren't quite as over-the-top or as plentiful as before, while the (intentional) comedy is kept to a minimum.
It's not up to the standards of his best work in the past, but it's light-years ahead of his US pictures and is a welcome return to form even if Chan's fight scenes fall short of his former glories (that said, there is a good bus sequence and an imaginative chase down the side of a building).

Disturbing but brilliant
Brilliant film. Jackie Chan keeps on climbing in my estimation. The first part of the film is quite disturbing. I think worthy of an 18 certificate. Read more

STICK WITH RUSH HOUR MR CHAN.........
I enjoyed Jackie Chan in the two Rush Hour films so I thought I would give this a go. I have to say this was not what I was expecting the acting, story and filming was very poor. Read more
