The IRA took his family. Now he must get revenge. Present Day. Quan, an ex-Viet Cong fighter, has escaped to the United Kingdom with his daughter and become the proud owner of the Double Happiness Chinese Takeaway. He has quietly started settling into middle age - until a resurgent IRA bomb rips through a Knightsbridge store, killing his daughter instantly. Heartbroken, Quan asks the authorities for justice. But when the authorities fob him off, Quan decides to take matters into his own hands, and travels to Ireland to extract revenge. However, the bombings are the work of an unsanctioned IRA unit, operating against the wishes of the now-retired IRA old guard, or at least, most of them. Determined to find out who is behind the bombings, one of the ex-IRA leaders, Liam Hennessy, sets a trap for the splinter unit. Amidst the politics, lies and double-crosses, Quan and Hennessy find themselves fighting against each other, but with the same aim: to bring the bombers to justice.

Underrated movie, it's much different from your normal action Jackie Chan movies. But it brings enough to the table to keep you satisfied with the story and action scenes. Yes it can be better in some ways, (slow build up) though personally I am very much happy with this movie. Well worth the buy and watch.

In hindsight, Jackie didn't have any effect on how things turned out in the movie except for the last couple of scenes... A bit like Taken, I guess, except Jackie is after revenge instead of trying to save someone. Glad I didn't have to pay full price to watch this.

Its been so long seeing Jackie in action movie. Great story line with action scenes as expect from any of Jackie's films. Even in his old age he still got it.
