The Chinese migrant communities in Tokyo live shadowy lives. The Japanese neither acknowledge nor welcome them.

Fairly solidly directed, but this mob drama is full of dull characters and routines and confrontations we've seen many times before in movies from all over the world. It's so by-the-book, it feels like old product under a new name. Jackie Chan can play a serious character, but there is nothing here to back him up and make a worthwhile movie.

Jackie Chan didn't get the chance to ruin 'serious' movie, this film is no good to begin with. I don't even know where to start criticizing it, because there are so many flaws. Right at the script level it's disjointed and dull, and for the most part is just a recycled version of "One Night In Mongkok". Characters are one-dimensional and unbelievable. Dramatic scenes are simply laughable because of the absurdity of them. Worthless junk.

It is good to see Jackie Chan in a serious role, and it is an interesting take on Chinese-Japanese relations that avoided potential pitfalls, but the film is just a solid and unspectacular crime story.

Jackie chan does drama well. I liked his character arc in this. I didn't feel very thrilled overall though and some of the intense moments were laughably over the top.

A interesting departure for Jackie Chan from his usual more action oriented and tongue in cheek good guy roles.

JC shifts from his famous comedic style to something more dramatic. His attempt isn't as bad as I'd imagined, but lacks a greater depth or emotion. Daniel Wu plays a shit magnet whose misfortune begins with tragic hairstyles. The film itself is a mediocre watch - decent start but deteriorates in the final act. It's gritty, violent, and touches upon issues of Chinese illegal immigrants living in Japan. Warning: no martial arts involved. Just straight up shooting and gangster fights.

Fact that this isn't just another comedy with J.Chan makes it strangly positive. Yakuza wars are fine, but they lack some depth as most of characters do.

Forget everything you know about Jacky, this is completely different. You expect Chan any moment to break out his kung-fu moves. It gets way more serious, and Chan descends from being neutral to actually becoming a monster himself to fight monsters. The transformation from Jie from silly noob to a typical Japanese weirdo is fascinating to watch. I hope Chan decides to explore these kind of movies more. And as usual, Japanese are fucking weird.
