Screener Review: POLICE STORY: LOCKDOWN (2013/2015)

SYNOPSIS: Police Captain Zhong Wen (Jackie Chan) knows all about sacrifice. He’s always been too busy chasing bad guys to be a father to his daughter Miao (Jing Tian).

The film reteams the director omce more with international action star Jackie Chan in a story that centers on a mainland cop who falls into a dangerous trap when a bar is taken hostage. All in all, it proved to be an ample continuation of Chan‘s cinematic reign among the niche with a much darker and grittier, more non-canonical approach compared to the usual tone of Hong Kong comedy he’s become known for.
