SHINJUKU INSIDENT

Jackie Chan once more brings his fans an incredible action movie. A flair plot, brilliant actors, such a jaw-dropping fight which could make you a little uncomfortable. Jackie doesn't play a cute role and funny role like he used to do, but he plays a serious role who really has a complicated life.
Derek Yee, the director,did an awesome job, probably the best ASIAN movie this 2009. Really, i wasn't regret watching it instead of KNOWING (Nicholas Cage).

The story is about Chinese immigrants who do illegal works at Japan. And one of them A Jie (Daniel Wu), unfortunately caught by a Taiwan gangster and he is tortured sadisticly and one of his hand cut of from his body. Jackie, which is his loyal friend, decided that he will take a revenge to this person who did this to Ajie. Suddenly, he is messing with not only a bunch of Taiwan people, but a real Yakuza (a call for powerful MAFIA in Japan). But, Jackie is innocently clever and he would do anything for his friends and family. Unfortunately,, after his hard work, Ajie who had lost his hand, still in unaccepting condition and very emotional about this whole thing. Jackie has managed to make Eguchi, son of the Yakuza's leader believe in him and give him power to Shinjuku street, one street which contain night life clubs and casinos.
He turns into this drug-dealer and a gothic scary teenage, gathered all Japanese teenagers to be his group. His days full of messing up with people until the headman of this Japanese gangster feel disturbed and hear several rumours about Chinese people who tortured Japanese people.

The best actor in this movie, for me, is DANIEL WU. Looks like a kid, but from a nice and happy person turns into this psycho-disturbed teen.. He plays his role like a pro. The emotion that is going on in him, we all can see and feel the same thing. The way he talk and the way he shivers a little when he needs drugs.

Really amazing movie, FULL OF UNEXPECTED SURPRISES,brilliant, and pretty scary for some people who afraid of blood. But what an awesome movie! I give all the thumbs i can give for this movie. Worth every cents i ever spent for a movie.
