Shinjuku Incident |新宿事件| 新宿インシデント |Movie Review




Shinjuku Incident starring Jackie Chan. This is the first time I see Jackie Chan acting as a villain in movie. After I watched it, I felt that his role wasn't a bad guy afterall. 

IMO, I think his role, Steelhead was a guy who was damn lucky and was desperate to see his childhood girlfriend, Xiu Xiu who had left for Tokyo in search of better life. While he was earning a decent living in Tokyo, he found out that she was married a big yakuza. And because of that, Steelhead tried to make himself a big time gangster so that he could see his ex-girlfriend and be with her again. Thus he started doing all those illegal stuff... Haha spoilers for all of ya...

Jackie Chan as Triad Boss xD

I'll give this movie a 4 out of 5 stars. Why? I like actions movies especially gangsters type so yeah xD What impressed me was that it taught me a lesson: Money can't buy happiness. Spoilers again: The brothers fought each other and all of them died :x Oh yeah Fang Bing Bing was in the show as well, she acted as Jackie Chan's present girlfriend in the movie.

Cast


I watched Shinjuku Incident @ Cathay and I paid the ticket using my UOB Now card, so it was $8.00 compared it to the usual price which was $10.00, I think it's worthwhile for a new movie :)
