FULL MOVIE REVIEW 2010:A few weeks ago we got to see the srious side of Jackie Chan as the unsmiling, revenge-thirsty Hong Kong cop in New Police Story. This week, he returns again in his unsmiling avtar as Steelhead, the simple Chinese F.O.B who lands in downtown Tokyo (Shinjuku), takes refuge with the rest of the Chinese immigrants living in Tokyo's seamy and slummy areas and ends up as their savior. Steelhead actually came to Tokyo looking for his girlfriend, but before he can find her, he must raise the battle cry for the dignity and honour of the exploited illegal Chinese immigrants. It's a battle which sees him locking horns, first with the Taiwanese underworld and then with the warring Yakuza, after he saves the life of one of them.
Poor, love-lorn Steelhead. The man he saved turns out to be his girl friend's husband and makes him an offer he cannot refuse. He promises him legal status if he kills a few rival gangsters for him. Now that's a request he can hardly refuse, specially since his ex still looks longingly at him.
It's a hard-hitting action drama, with some gritty and gut-wrenching violence. And surprisingly, you don't actually miss the buffoon you grew to love in the Rush Hour series since Chan has successfully changed his colours to a more morally ambiguous and sombre grey. Go for the difference.
