Affection, revenge and political intrigue

A friend recommended me to watch Jackie Chan's "British Showdown" before, but I was limited by the traditional impression of Jackie Chan martial arts action films, so I didn't watch it at that time. I watched it yesterday, and overall I liked it, and I also felt that Jackie Chan dared to break through himself. Although the movie itself was not perfect, it was remarkable and very good. From the main line of the story, on the one hand, Jackie Chan's 60-year-old father avenges his daughter, and on the other hand, there is a political conspiracy and terrorist attack between Northern Ireland and the United Kingdom. As other netizens said, the integration of these two story lines is not very good, and there is still a sense of separation. At the beginning of the story, it was explained that a terrorist attack launched by a political conspiracy killed the daughter of the protagonist Guan. After ten minutes of seeing it, I knew it was a story of revenge. Then, with the appearance of the first deputy minister of the political figure, the political conspiracy was opened. the prologue. Jackie Chan changed his previous style in the movie and played an old man who lost his wife and two daughters. Most of the time, his face was withered and decadent, but even so, the image of revenge was very moving, especially when his daughter died. Afterwards, she lost her mind in her daughter's room, looking at the desk and clothes that her daughter had not packed at all, as if her daughter would come back after just going out for a while. An old old father lost his only daughter's only relative, knowing that she would never show up and never come back. He could only smell his daughter's smell by smelling his daughter's clothes. This is really impressive.

Rare.

    The vulgar name of "British Showdown" is really sorry for this movie.

    The ending song is a bit... The Seven Little Fortune-style fights are a bit overwhelming, not enough for special forces. Others are very good, I liked Martin Campbell's style to see it. Jackie Chan got a lot of scenes...another story about the british empire's unclean ass...
