After 12 rounds, I was back to Singapore and met with my classmates to watch another movie that we wanted to watch. Of course it was not the same day as the day I was watching 12 Rounds.


Why we decided to watch this movie majority was because this movie was starring by Jackie Chan, Daniel Wu, and Fan BingBing. We thought that the movie will be packed with a lot of action scenes. We were wrong, very wrong...

Well, if you haven't watch this movie and is considering about to watch this. I must make this clear to you. If you can't take too cruel scene, better think twice. If you are expecting the fighting scene like Jackie Chan always did, sorry this movie will definitely let you down, pretty badly.

This is quite different from what you watched of Jackie Chan production. This is not something that can make you laugh, can make you feel impressive, or something that can make you sit on the chair to enjoy the show easily. This is a movie that shows that how is the China people enter to Japan illegally. A tracktor mechanic nicknamed SteelHead (Jackie Chan) enters to Japan illegaly to look for his girlfriend and he met Jie (Daniel Wu) at Shinjuku. He starts to earn some money for his daily life while he is still searching for his girlfriend. Meanwhile, his girlfriend actually married to Japanese Yakuza leader named Eguchi (Kato Masaya). When he found out that his girlfriend was actually married to japanese, he is deeply disappointed and he met Lily (Fan Bingbing), ladyboss of a Bar. Steelhead decided to do something big and make his name famous at Shinjuku. He has his concern but things turn out to something that beyond his control and that is not actually he want. Jie's hand was been chopped by one of the leader then he decided to make the revenge for Jie. Thing started to go out of control and he can't turn it back to his simple life.

Well, this is the how this movie started. If you want to find out more, 10 bux will not be too much for this movie. Worth to give yourself a chance to watch it. Jackie Chan is really getting old and we can't always expect him to fight here and there. What I can see from this movie that actually he is trying to do something else. He is trying to bring something for us unlike those previous Jackie Chan's movies that we just watch and gain nothing.

So, give yourself a chance and also give Jackie one...
