Shinjuku Incident
Shinjuku Incident, released in 2009 in Hong Kong, stars Jackie Chan, directed by Derek Yee is an action and crime drama film.
The one word I would tag with this film is ‘violence’. There is a hell of a lot of the stuff. The film focused on action yet focused on the drama genre a little bit more, giving off more emotions in the characters.
The film focuses around an illegal immigrant (Chan) who goes to Japan to find his girlfriends. After he learns and discovers that she is married to a high status boss, he undergoes a lot of crime and violence – which is when we start to see the blood.
Due to the explicit nature of the violence scenes the film was eventually banned in China. The director decided against the idea of altering the film and removing the violent scenes, allowing the ban to be lifted, as he said it would ruin the film.
In conclusion, the film was very violent and gruesome. It was a good film to watch but in my opinion the violence was a bit too much. Jackie Chan played his character really well, but I would of preferred to watch him in one of his signature roles.
