First Strike (1996)
6/10
Shallow but entertaining movie
23 April 2022
This movie is clearly a James Bond inspired flick. It has all the Jackie Chan stuff you love, the humor, the fight choreography and set pieces. However the movie feels like there was a bunch of stuff cut from it. The intro scene to the plot of the movie is like one minute long and Jackie just gets thrown into the fire. It rapid fires from one scene to the next to the next. The movie has no subplots at all, there is zero character growth, no emotional hooks, no relationships developed. What you see is exactly what you get. Like how it begins the ending is like one minute long as well.

It is a simple, fun and short movie that feels like an episode in a tv series.
