First
Strike (1996) |
![]() |
Synopsis & Analysis As usual, Chan displays considerable ingenuity at performing elaborate action set pieces with a variety of unusual objects. In one scene, for example, he fights off a large group of opponents using only a ladder. The acting, script, and production values, however, vary from average to poor. Chan himself gives the kind of pleasant performance that one would expect from him. While never a notable actor, he has a likeable on screen persona that makes watching him a delight. Although it is no masterpiece, First Strike was not intended to be a work of art. It is an action film with some light comedy, and, despite its faults, the film does succeed at entertaining.
