New Police Story
These days I’ve long been tied-hand-and-foot to my revision for the on-going exams. Today we have one day off to take a breath. After we finished the Business Correspondence, we returned to the dorm as if we had planned to. All the girls put down books to enjoy TV progms.
I am not fond of action movies, especially the cliche ones telling the story between the policemen the the criminals. How many of them have been made to including blowing up half of the Kowloon and wrecking a dozen police cars? Too much means nonsense.
However, as my roommate recommended, unwillingly, I started to watch it– New Policy Story. It, however, bears not so much weak points of the traditional policy stories, which makes it a little bit watchable.
At the beginning of the movie, Officer Wing (Jacky Chan) hanging out drunk on an alcoholic bender a year after something terrible happend to him and his collegues. Flash back to the scene of the crime, and we watch with horror as the teenager gang fellows led by Joe (Daniel Wu) ambushes Wing’s entire SWAT team inside the obligatory abandoned warehouse and finally kills them all.
One year later Wing is even more horrified to learn that those teens have created a video game based on the slaughter of the cops and have posted it on the net for the world to enjoy. Annoyed Wing is inspired to get in shape and get back to work.
Actually, this movie is none-exceptionally bound to chases between cops an the criminals. Anyway, nothing beyond my expectation in the part. However, there is one thing that I must admit. That is Jacky Chan has done a amazing job in this action movie because he seemed not at all being bothered by his age. What’s more, he acts himself this time. I mean, he dosen’t make up so much to cover his wrinckles and aged face. You know, nowadays actors especially some actress are always doing movies beyond their reach, say pretend to be unbeliveably younger than themselve.
Therefore, I would say New Police Story is one of the few action films that can be accepted by me as watchable. Maybe boys would find it more interesting.
