"A humble businessman with a buried past seeks justice when his daughter is killed in an act of terrorism. A cat-and-mouse conflict ensues with a government official, whose past may hold clues to the killers' identities."IMDb
Staring Jackie Chan, Pierce Brosnan, Rufus Jones,.
The plot is simple, Quan (Chan) daughter is killed by a rogue splinter group of the IRA. Quan then goes after those responsible using Liam Hennessy (Brosnan) a Gerry Adams look-a-like to get to those behind his daughter death.
The problem for those responsible is that Quan (Chan) isn't just a normal bloke on the street, he's got some very special training....
The film is quite gripping, theres action from pretty much the start and for once Chan is playing a serious role. Most of the details are actually right (for a change) the special forces observation team even has the "lingo" right, clearly someone has taken the trouble to get a proper adviser which makes a big difference.
Like all Chan films theres a few explosions and a few fight scenes, although less than we expect, it works with the serious nature of the film.
Waynes rating 8.5/10 Well worth a watch even if your not a Jackie Chan fan
