Crime Story [Blu-ray]

This thriller is probably most notable for its personnel: international superstar Jackie Chan and Kirk Wong, a Hong Kong action director who broke through to Hollywood in the 1998 American film The Big Hit. Chan portrays Inspector Eddie Chan, who must investigate the kidnapping of a wealthy businessman. While Chan hunts down the kidnappers, things complicate further when it is revealed that a high-ranking police officer (Kent Cheng) is part of the conspiracy. Chan's dramatic turns in this film are a strong departure from his usual slapstick comedy, and the film's action emphasizes traditional gunfights over his kung-fu acrobatics.
