I was surprised at the depth Mr. Chan revealed in this movie. There is not a lot of "fun" frivolity as in his other movies. But I enjoyed it as much -- or more. I thought he was spectacular in his rendering of the character in the situation he was in. I was actually amazed at his ability to mask his own awareness of the plot in each scene where the action and dialog constantly evokes that awareness but he must be the person without awareness. I suspect that's very hard to do when even the slightest twitch in the eye would trash the scene. The director could have shielded the actor from parts of the script, I know (in that case kudos to the director also). But it looked absolutely real and unaffected and not set up. Jackie should consider other opportunities like this.
