Plot so thin, it passes unnoticed.

Excellent, smart action film.

it is the rare 'crazy' movie that actually has something to say.

If you like to be scared, if you like to laugh, and if you like to learn a thing or two at the movies, this absolutely cannot be missed.

A hero cop accidentally leads his team into a trap from which he is the only survivor. Drowning his guilt in booze, he is eventually assigned a new younger partner who turns out to have his own secrets. New Police Story is easily the best of all the Police Story Films it's not only very serious but it also has one of Chan's most serious performances and as an action film it's very dark because once his team dies it's bloody awful in a good way always and then he spends his time getting drunk but he chooses to go after the people who killed his team and it's really the best Police Story movie ever made and Jackie Chan gave a fantastic performance!!!

Today I would like to introduce the movie New Police story, which was directed by Benny Chan, and released in 2004. The main actors of the film was Jackie Chan, Nicholas Tse and Daniel Wu. Wing was a great policeman who could solve every case he met, however, once all his team members were killed during a mission to arrest a criminal gang which was leaded by Joe (Daniel Wu). Wing was sorrowful after that tragedy in a long time because he thought as the team leader he should take charge of that accident. Then Fung (Nicholas Tse) bucked up Wing and finally they solved the case. At first I was attracted to watch this movie because I was a big fan of Jackie Chan, I have watched all his prior Police story films so I was looking forward how this latest film of the series would be. It did not disappoint me after watching it, and I became a big fan of another actor, Daniel Wu. His character in the film is a young people named Joe. Everyone around Joe thought he lived in a perfect family, his father was the North District Superintendent of Hong Kong, and his mother runs her own business, the family has both status and property, but the fact is Joe was punished hardly by his father in his childhood, so he had never felt love from his father. As a result, Joe hates the police. Furthermore, he likes violence, and he is merciless to anyone who brings trouble to his plan. Many people think he is evil, but in my opinion, Joe is pathetic. Joe's father punished him lots of times and said he was useless, and his mother thought giving him money is the way to show she loved him. His family forced him to become like this, because he could never feel true love and attention from his parents, so all what he had done was more like a child crying in front of many people in order to let them notice him. He wanted to prove that he could be better than his father, but he chose an opposite way, so he became a criminal, to challenge his father and all the police. For example, Joe was angry when he saw Wing promised he could catch him and criticized his criminal gang was childish, he knew Wing never failed to solve a case before, so he could not wait to challenge him and tell all the police in Hong Kong that he was the best. Daniel Wu acted Joe's personality and behaviour perfectly, made the audience hate Joe while he committed a crime, but also regret to Joe's story. Maybe Joe is an extreme example, but the film also showed other four young people which are examples that we can normally see in our life. All of them are from wealthy families, they could have worked in their parents company, they could have driven fancy cars and they could have been to parties with other friends, but they did not, they chose to commit crimes with Joe. They are similar to Joe, they received little love from their parents, and because they can get everything they want easily as they have money, so they wanted to try something that they have never tried before. They considered what all they have done with Joe more as a game without any thoughts of the result, so finally while they realized the situation had become without control, they were fear and regret. The film wanted to warn those parents that no matter how much money they have earned for their children, their love and care are the most important things to them. Another plot that left me a deep impression was the story between Wing and Fung. Fung was a son of a thief, his father died in an accident after he stole a bread from a shop. Other policemen treated Fung and his father's dead body without respect, but Wing respected Fung's father's dignity and tell other policemen that even a thief has the right to be respected. Fung felt grateful to what Wing had done, so he helped and encouraged Wing in his hardest time of his career. This scene was shown at the end of the movie and it was so moving. It is obvious that police hates thieves, and most of us have someone we dislike in our life, but Wing taught us that even dealing with the opposite side, respecting others self-esteem and dignity is the rule that we must obey. Furthermore, the relationship between Wing and his fiancée was admirable. They have experienced the pain that their relative died, and the threaten from Joe to their lives, but they still believed in each other. The same as other Jackie Chan's movie, the action scenes are exciting, especially the scene Wing and Fung fell from the top of the building. But different from other movies of the series, this New Police story talks more about humanity as I mentioned, it is my favourite among other Police Story movies.

This is the first Police movie I've seen. I saw it with no expectations and was blown away. The plot, characters and action sequences were thoroughly entertaining. The writers, actors and director have done a splendid job. The 'villains' were three dimensional and despite all that they do you can't help but feel pity and sympathy for them as well. 'New Police Story' is a mix of a tale of redemption and extreme sports stunts but underneath that there are hints of how the line between a criminal and a victim blurs. There's even speculation on the two warring aspects of the police force- its nobility and its abuse of power.Also I have to say the voice dubbing is spot on! I didn't even need to use subtitles. I don't write reviews often; in fact I think this is my second review, but this movie made me want to praise it. I'd recommend it for adrenaline loving teenagers and young adults.

There you go, a bunch of chumpy rich kids, robbing banks and killing cops like old-time Rambo. HK police are so lame and unprofessional that they let an impersonator walks in and out the police headquarter like an Wal-mart. Oh, did I mention that they also let the lead antagonist walk in the police headquarter with a bomb in his hand, so that he can give it to Jackie's girlfriend and subsequently disfigure her. And you got corny melodramas. Tons of them, actually, mainly about Jackie weeping over his dead peers, and lead villain's profound hate for his police commissioner dad. And I don't even want to recall more about this terrible flop. Shun it, avoid it like plague.
