The film opens with Jackie Chan meeting with his estranged daughter and her boyfriend Wu at his bar/club. It starts out with a hostage situation as father tries to save daughter, but not nearly as good as "Taken." The film ends up with a classic mystery ending where all the suspects are assembled in one room. The whole premise of the film was inane. Who does this to get information and revenge?Much of the film consisted of flashbacks. Chan managed to get in a "Rocky" scene, but for the most part, his abilities were not used. The film started out good, but started to bore me at the flashbacks.

A man looking for the release of a long-time prisoner takes a police officer, his daughter, and a group of strangers hostage. Police Story: Lockdown is once again starring Jackie Chan and it's i think the 5th or 6th film in this Franchise and Chan does what he does best a lot of great stunts and the action is handled really well and there's some pretty good sequences with a lot of tension it's not as good as previous films in this franchise but it's not as cheesy as the first few entries in the Saga and if you're open minded you won't be disappointed by this film. I'll give Police Story: Lockdown an A+ i had fun with the film and i was very surprised by it.

For decades, many of us have lived vicariously through Jackie Chan: we held our breath when he plummeted from the top of a skyscraper or leapt from a rooftop to the fire escape of another building without a net or dropped from a helicopter onto a hot air balloon or any of a hundred other death-defying deeds... but Father Time catches up to us all, no matter how far (or often) we fall. While he's still spry (and, when he chooses, able to fly), Chan has AGED and it's understandable if he has chosen to forego the kind of over-the-top action-oriented melodramatics that marked his younger years. It was a wise choice: POLICE STORY: LOCKDOWN showcases Chan's acting chops (he's as adept at Drama as he is at Action) and I' for one, can't wait to see what he does next.

This is another Jackie Chan movie featuring himself, nothing less, nothing more. To call this is a Police Story sequel is a big stretch, it practically have nothing to do with the first 2( or 3 including supercop but supercop was a Michelle Yeoh movie).The movie itself is alright, thriller elements, fight between Jackie and the Thai(?) guy, Tian Jing who's everywhere now in martial art movies, these are pretty much like a standard in any martial art movies now.What's wrong with the movie is that, one, Jackie isn't Chan kai ku, that doesn't make sense, 2, the directing.. Police Story was used to be fast paced, self serious ( which this movie is also the case), and insane stunt choreography, it's really the slow pace in this movie that's unsettling me as the first 2 movies fans, it's used to be a HK flick when the people in it are so hyper speed that make their movies also speak that fast tongue language, that's what was unique about HK flicks but now all Chinese movies are just a bunch of Hollywood wannabes.In general, I wouldn't pay money to see this Jackie Chan movie that's my afterthought after watching it.
