Big brother Jackie Chan is getting older, and he also makes some money from ordinary films to subsidize his family.
The outstanding feature of this film is the interweaving of two story lines. Personally, I think this narrative method is correct. A father who lost his daughter and wanted to take revenge, and a politician with ulterior motives. Why is the whole story so ordinary? That's because the two story lines are only intertwined in time, but not in cultural connotations. Jackie Chan's revenge storyline reflects the perseverance and bravery of the characters and the cry of the people at the bottom. I saw a superhero film; Brosnan's politicians are corrupt, hypocritical and cunning, and the relationship between the characters is complicated. I saw a suspenseful crime film. The style of the film is seriously inconsistent, and the theme is also inconsistent: the life of Asians in the UK and the independence of Northern Ireland, these two themes are also unrelated. It's like eating fries with braised pork. This film has done a lot of basic work very well, the plot is compact, the narrative is coherent, and the story twists and turns. However, this forced fusion of two lines can only create two parallel lines, which cannot intersect. I hope that Jackie Chan can make a good-looking binary two-line movie, the real two-line intertwining, not putting braised pork on french fries.
