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.

There's definitely more than three rings' worth of death-defying feats, high-flying slapstick and even a few well-trained animal acts.

Rated: 3/4

Chicago Sun-Times

Here is crucial dialogue from early in Jackie Chan's First Strike': "It's me! I found new suspect!'' "Who is he?'' "I don't know!'' Right there you have the beauty of the Jackie Chan movies.

All the action and laughs that one would expect from a Police Story film--or, for that matter, a Jackie Chan film--are in full view here.

Filme bacana, o roteiro é bacaninha, as cenas são bacaninhas, a história é bacaninha, o elenco é bacaninha, e só o Jackie Chan ajuda a melhorar o filme, os personagens são bacaninhas, e o filme deveria ter cenas bem melhores, e as cenas de ação na embaixo da água, foram excelentes e melhoraram o filme, com tudo isso, eu recomendo esse filme vale a pena assistir, e esse filme passava no SBT.

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

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.
