"First Strike" is not perhaps the best of Jackie Chan's films, but it is quite modern and has plenty of special effects. The plot is pretty stupid, so the film is for action film buffs only. Lots and lots of stuff blows up.
Don't normally like martial arts films? Me neither. Too much anger and foreign strangeness about ungrateful sons and fathers. But Jackie Chan is quite different and if you're new to the genre I suggest you give it a shot. Jackie Chan films have lots of comedy and they're quite accessible. But try "SuperCop" or "Rush Hour" first.
Who should see this film:
-- Action film buffs only, even if like me you prefer an
intelligent plot. The comedy and action makes up for it.
I'll give "First Strike" an 8 out of 10.
