Shinjuku Incident

i like to leave the cinema with the feeling that my time was well spent watching a good movie, this is just ... an average movie. yea, it has jacky chan doing drama scenes, but not all of them click. and daniel wu speaking in mandarin also doesn't click with me. and i just feel annoyed the way the scenes change. i feel that the flow is somehow jagged. censorship? perhaps but it went on throughout the whole movie. another thing is this movie is sort of like a documentary on the life of Chinese immigrants to Japan, after the movie, apart from the scenes depicting torture, nothing else actually made an impression. it's really a depressing movie, as a friend's friend said. 2.5 out of 5.
