Powerless guardian, I failed

I give Jackie Chan five points, for the protection of the family, for the dedication.

My Tai Chi master once said that you must first have the awareness of action, and then be able to respond. The most difficult thing is to make a correct response, or an effective response. As an ordinary person, I have this awareness of protection. I can give everything for the people I love, but unfortunately I don't have this ability, especially now that my own condition is so poor. Guarding is not just as simple as being willing to give life. Life, sometimes, is often the most powerless kind of giving.

I failed them, a very simple sentence, but how much it contains, I also want to protect, I hope I will not have the time to say this, unfortunately, I also know that from the day I hope to protect, I have failed.

Maybe, but please get drunk. After I wake up, maybe I can keep going...

    Better than these patriotic educational films of Jackie Chan in recent years. 60 years old and still fighting is really good. The interaction between the two male protagonists is not too much, it can be more exciting, and the overall is not bad.

    The IRA is really beaten and kicked, hacked and sold; the Married family ensures that the action scenes are clean, beautiful, appropriate, and innovative; but Jackie himself is a pale, isolated character. Weird script.
