It's something of a surprise to see so much serious emotional content in a Jackie Chan film, but I found it convincing and touching. There's enough martial arts action to keep things moving (even by Sammo Hung, who is excellent as Jackie's "slow" brother) but the core of the film is Jackie's frustration at having had to set his life aside to care for and worry about his brother, and his brother's distress and guilt. The resolution is a real tear-jerker (never thought I'd be crying at a Chan movie!). Not the one to choose when you want to see Jackie kick butt, but shouldn't be ignored either.
