Shinjuku Incident

I watched Shinjuk Incident a few days ago and enjoyed it tremendously. This is the first movie starring Jackie Chan that I have seen where he isn't just a martial arts expert that comes to save the day. Although there are a few incidents that resemble a typical Jackie Chan movie. He does become the Chinese immigrants savior like he is often portrayed in his movies. Yet, as I stated earlier I enjoy this movie and definitely recommend it if you have not had the chance to see it.

Synopsis:

"In the early 1990s, a tractor mechanic from a northen countryside in China nicknamed Steelhead (Jackie Chan), enters Japan illegally in search of his fiancée, Xiu Xiu (Xu Jinglei). Steelhead and a bunch of other illegal immigrants came by a freighter that incidentally sunk before reaching the harbor. A local Japanese policeman discovered them and all the immigrants ran for their lives. Steelhead managed to steal some dry clothes and tracked down his brother Jie (Daniel Wu) for help. Jie helped provide food and shelter for Steelhead while looking for a job in between searching for Xiu Xiu. Jie introduced fellow Chinese immigrants and each of them helped Steelhead by showing him trades of the underworld to survive and make a living."
