Shinjyuku Incident


Enjoyed the movie very much. The social problems and incidents, life in Japan during the 90s is as closely as depicted in the movie. I was in tokyo, Japan during the same period as the movie is based on. Further more, I was working in the same Shinjyuku area (新宿、高田馬場、新大久保、百人町)for both of my part time jobs. I did sent Food to a Yakuza residence also.
Although the movie pace is a bit too fast, the story unfolds too quickly, and characters have less time to develop. Jackie Chan's acting is a bit lack of emotion. He looked too serious and always unhappy. But Daniel Wu was really good. His character enable him to show all the emotions a person can experience. From hope to happy, extreme pain and despair, and finally rage and death. His character pitiful, but outshines every one and unforgettable. The Japanese actor, Naoto Takenaka 竹中直人, the police detective is a veteran actor, and his acting is good.
Many strong violence actions survived the Malaysia Censorship Board, but not the language.
Strogly recommended to all.
