Karry Best movie of this year hands down!

AboveDeepBuggy Some things I liked some I did not.

FuzzyTagz If the ambition is to provide two hours of instantly forgettable, popcorn-munching escapism, it succeeds.

Bob This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.

alexhiro Shinjuku Incident is a good movie, I really liked the set, which is Tokyo, and the cast too( with Chinese actors, Taiwanese actors and also Japanese ones). The main theme is about immigration and how immigrants live in a foreign country(in the movie most of them are depicted in a negative way as being criminals). I also appreciated the love sub-plot involving Jackie Chan and Jinglei Xu. Furthermore, I liked the way Jackie Chan fights; I mean in some movies he is unbeatable, while here he has his weaknesses and cannot win every fight.However, what I did not like was the ending. It is unclear whether the Yakuza harms or even kills Eguchi's family and if Inspector Kitano will be able to use the files Jack gave him.To conclude, I must say the film is really good and enjoyable, above all the theme and the actors. Maybe the ending could have been clearer.

adonis98-743-186503 A simple Chinese immigrant wages a perilous war against one of the most powerful criminal organizations on the planet. San suk si gin is not one of Jackie Chan's best movies but it's one of the very few ones where he chooses to show his acting skills and tries a more dramatic role than usual since most of his films are comedy and action this one is more of drama/thriller and the 3rd act is easily the best one it has a bit more action and suspense into it and it really paid of as for the rest of the film it's good too it's just that certain things could have been better for example the pacing and one of the characters turns kind of a jerk. It tells a really good message and thanks to a powerful performance by Jackie Chan i'm going to give this film an 8/10

Andy Steel Very well made with the emphasis on the drama rather than the martial arts. Yes, there is some, but very little, I guess Jackie Chan is concentrating more on his acting these days. All the performances were very good with Jackie Chan, Naoto Takenaka and Daniel Wu (as Jie) standing out for me. It did put me in mind of films like 'Goodfells' and 'Once Upon a Time in America', maybe without the epic scope of those movies, but certainly the look and feel of them. I did find it was beginning to drag a little towards the end and I did find some of the plot lines a little predictable. Other than that, a decent watch.SteelMonster's verdict: RECOMMENDEDMy score: 7.1/10.You can find an expanded version of this review on my blog: Thoughts of a SteelMonster.

Dan Ashley (DanLives1980) In the same vein as JCVD, this very surprising offering from Jackie Chan sees the aging kung-fu legend as a savvy mafia man leading Chinese Triads in a turf war against the Yakuza in Tokyo's Shinjuku district, based on a real life incident.'Steelhead' played by Chan, is a Chinese peasant fixing farm machinery for a pittance. When the girl he is set to marry travels to Japan and doesn't come back, he follows hundreds of other illegal immigrants across the border and learning to survive on the streets, under the radar and working illegally.With the government's stringent efforts to stop all illegal immigrants working in Japan, Steelhead and his street brothers learn how to hustle and work the black market but when Japanese crime syndicates become the bane of their existence, Steelhead leads his own people to fight them and unwittingly saves the life of highly respected Yakuza boss Eguchi, who it turns out has married his fiancée.In return, Eguchi grants Steelhead power and space to operate, providing Steelhead becomes his personal hit-man but when Steelhead's Triad syndicate starts to grow more powerful, events escalate until only war is inevitable. The only man who might stop it is Inspector Kitano, a detective whose life Steelhead selflessly saved while on the run.The Shinjuku Incident is clever in the way that it manages to be bloody and violent yet moral and sometimes sympathetic and having no kung fu fights whatsoever. Chan is brilliant as the peasant turned reluctant mafia boss, a man who turned to harmless crime to survive who was drawn to greater evils to protect those he cared about.If anything it's the moral opposite of Scarface, only it reaches much the same conclusion, that people see power corrupting ordinary men, when it's just corruption that corrupts power, which affects even the best of us.Chan doesn't go to such brave limits of acting as Van Damme did in 2008's JCVD but he acts his pants off anyway and shows what he's worth outside of the dangerous stunts he's known for. And bangs a hooker, and gets drunk, and stabs people to death, and shoots gangsters in broad daylight.It's not Infernal Affairs but it's one hell of an achievement of the world's long time favourite kung-fu action star!
