Movie Review

Let's start with the bad side: The voice dubbing was awful, the story wasn't supported until the end, and the ending was short and unproductive. The movie itself was also short, going only 90 minutes (including credits); it needed another half hour. On the other hand, it's a Jackie Chan movie, so he's the center of attention. His super-fast fighting style and comical interludes are great, not to mention he does his own stunts. First Strike needed another half hour, better voice-overs, and a better story but all in all it was fun watching Jackie Chan do his stuff. This is a movie for all ages. Full movie review »
