New Police Story
not only Hollywood swears retracted film series such as Spider-Man or new Batman reboot to get going. Even in Hong Kong can observe this practice, such as Jackie Chan's racy, comedic action series Police Story, which won 2004 New Police Story a more dramatic reloading. The has seen virtually no connection to its predecessors. The title played once again the music.
In New Police Story plays Jackie Chan, directed by Benny Chan ( Jackie Chan Nobody ) is to conduct a successful police inspector Chan Kwok-Wing, who receives the order, an action against a five-strong gang of youths. The police, however, underestimated the seriousness of the situation: The young people are real sadists and tinkered out a brutal plan of how they can grab one of Kwok-Wing men at a time. Kwok-Wing will then play in contests against the youth band at the lives of his colleagues, including his brother. But he lost one by one. shattered by this traumatic event, losing Kwok-Wing is the alcohol.
A year later, a young man named Frank enters his apartment to tell him that he was his new partner and it would finally come to the bank-consuming and policemen murderous gang of youths on the ropes. Initially reluctant to pulls Kwok-Wing, as he learns that Frank lost his brother during the last tragic use of his new partner.
With New Police Story wanted to prove to the working on this film as a producer Jackie Chan, an actor that he can not be reduced to a (sympathetic) Blödel-Kung-Fu. At first Jackie Chan may be in New Police Story also dissociate from that image, he mimes credible and committed the serious, but not bullheaded, police inspector, an important use of the slips.
The first act of New Police Story offers created especially by the dense atmosphere that director Benny Chan, with dark images and precise cuts. As of the spoiled rich son and daughter-existing youth gang slowly unmasked as dangerous to anarcho Force, and Jackie Chan's character from her was pushed to the brink of despair, provides exciting and depressing movie minutes. Looking back, offers almost got the comparisons with the bank robbery of the Joker in The Dark Knight , even if cinematographer Anthony Pun far not so overwhelming hypo-tables banished images on celluloid, as Wally Pfister for Christopher Nolan's mega-success did.
After the derailment of Kwok-Wing, however, reveal weaknesses in the script of Alan Yuen never continued Police Story reboots. Thus, the decline of the previously proud police inspector is not without outlines of Team America reminiscent exaggerations - which Jackie Chan urges scene with over the border to unwanted parody. Then need New Police Story its time to get caught again. While the plot is drawn leidsam effort into their (unfortunately, not particularly brave) lanes, Nicholas Tse is established in his role of Frank Cheng Siu Fung Chan gently as a young Jackie. This shows the latest in the first joint action sequence by Tse and Chan, in the beats themselves Tse as clumsy and less experienced partner with a good dose of slapstick elements from dangerous situations.
moment, slapstick? Yes, slapstick! For even if New Police Story not the comic dimensions of the warm-stupid time Rush Hour movies or Shanghai Noon / Shanghai Knights accepted, then removed the film with increasing duration of wrath, the beginning and again takes more typical Jackie Chan trains to. One is the original -Police Story leaning bus and a car chase in the best tradition of Chan-all props and set elements exploitative action sequence in a LEGO-show (!) Can be drawn towards the end amount to little more atmospheric conclusions about the serious beginning.
There nunmal movies where you develop the feeling that the artist had initially focused on a possible rounded top - and thrown behind the rest stop. New Police Story is such a film. A great beginning, with some polish could even get oppressive, nightmarish quality, a stackselnder middle part that is trying, again off the ground and the story take hold, and a routine, acceptable, but unfortunately, the cautious conclusion. This gives an essential for Jackie Chan fans, friends for action quite impressive film that is not what he wants to be first.
