Story 8-Illegal chinese immigrants sneak into japan. it chronicles the rise and power of jackie chan's character, "steelhead". apparently this is his first drama... and a good one at that. the story is gritty,gory,and realistic.it shows what really gang life is all about. yes jackie chan,daniel wu,and others slowly rise to power and transforms themselves into the biggest foreign gang in japan! the story is full of betrayal and brotherhood.yeah i know,jackie chan is a evil character. plus this is his first movie where he has a sexx scene lol.In my opinion they dont show enough "rise to power" more like the characters getting settled down and starting to go into the business of the underworld.
*note the movie is a drama.not an action.but a drama.there's only like 4 action scenes...but also there isnt martial arts. its more like street fighting. no martial arts in this film sorry JC fans!!!!!
sound 7.9- im sorry but jackie chan cant act drama! jet li is better than him... overall the dialogue is cool,they speak half chinese and japanese throughout the whole movie. dialogue is good,keeps you into the story.... the low score.... is for jackie chan's acting.
presentation 8-this movie has lots of really cool choreography in it's action scenes even though the there is no martial arts. This movie doesn't shy away from gore,which is why i like it.Plus it just has that gritty realistic feel to it.
overall- 8/10 or 3/5.
its worth a watch,but only if you like dramas and movies like the godfather.Jackie chan fans REALLY have to check this one out to see how he does.
