Jackie Chan, Japan and Gangster!!!!!!

I was asked if I want to join my colleague on a movie and instead I watch another movie because they are watching Fast and the Furious. I’m not really into watching it twice.

So I gone and watch the Jackie Chan‘s new movie. I never thought that I’d actually go into the cinema for a Chinese movie by Jackie Chan anymore. I thought I’ve had enough of him from my good old days as a teenager. But apparently it’s nota bad movie at all. It’s a movie about Chinese in Japan. Shinjuku Ji Ken. It’s serious and not too decorated action movie. Surviving as an illegal immigrant in Japan is hard. And the hardship that comes with the pain and the sadness and the transformation from a good person to a murderer for survival. All that is pretty amazing and to see finally something genuinely truthful and close to reality is a big plus for the movie. The Japanese is totally believable. To tell the truth it’s more realistic than most overly dramatized Japanese movie or totally boring drama. And mixes with some of the Chinese subtle morality issue and faithful gangster styled brotherhood makes the movie totally believable.
