After Jackie Chan's partner get gunned down in a robbery, he gets paired up with Danny Aiello, a cop with a very different style. They're both at an elite fashion party when the daughter of a tycoon gets kidnapped, and they get assigned to solving the case and bringing her back. From New York to Hong Kong, the pair find themselves in some very dangerous situations (and have to tackle some tough stunts along the way). I kept thinking it was very cute to see Danny in an action movie, since his son started his own career as a stuntman in the early 1980s.
It's a bit of a shock to see Jackie Chan in such a tough-guy role. He may be a police officer, but he holds no qualms about shooting bad guys in the neck; he even uses the f-word! If you'd rather see him in the sweet, Shanghai Noon type of roles, skip this one and stick with his usual comedic image. This movie is a gritty drama, with tons of violence, drug lords, exploited naked women, and back-stabs around every corner. It wasn't my favorite, but I did appreciate the different genre.
Kiddy Warning: Obviously, you have control over your own children. However, due to some violence, I wouldn't let my kids watch it.
