A Hong Kong police detective, Chan Ka Kui (Jackie Chan), works with the CIA to track a mysterious woman named Natasha (Grishajeva Nonna). She is suspected of delivering money to a terrorist, Jackson Tsui (Jackson Liu), who is trying to obtain a nuclear warhead from the Russian mob. Traveling from Hong Kong to the Ukraine to Australia, Chan aims to bust up the terrorist plot using his fists as much as his brains, doing battle underwater, on stilts and across mountain tops.

Jackie Chan's First Strike is kung-foolishness of a very entertaining sort, and action fans will get a kick out of it.

Solid C+. Three stars is for great action, comedy and the stunt only. Other, not so much.

Rated 3 out of 5 stars

O mais legalzinho de todos eles (entre os 4, ainda falta o reboot), o gênero definitivamente não me atrai muito, bale de lutas bem ensaiados, algumas poucas tiradas cômicas (que até são engraçadinhas), mas o filme chatinho, uma homenagem a James Bond (franquia que também não me alegra lá essas coisas), entretanto só o bumbum gostoso e redondinho de Jackie Chan já valeu, kkkk, fofo), e as cenas pós-créditos continuam sendo a melhor parte do filme...

Rated 3 out of 5 stars

The movie has interesting stunts and funny humor but unfortunately it lacks the formula to make a good movie. If it wasn't for the stunts and humor, I would not had finished watching the movie

First Strike is a smorgasbord for fans of action comedy. While maybe not as strong a film as the previous entries in the Police Story series, First Strike sees Chan at the top of his game in regards to choreography and sheer entertainment value.

The ladder scene alone keeps this film at the top of Jackie Chan's must-watch action movie list!
