This is a very poorly paced and structured movie, cutting between time periods to fill in the sort of convoluted backstory that a leaner, more propulsive piece of pulp probably wouldn't bother with in the first place.June 05, 2015
Chan looks sufficiently grizzled as Zhong Wen with a buzz cut and more than one Lethal Weapon moment.June 04, 2015
This is a grittier Jackie Chan largely because it has to be, but a depressing sign that there simply aren't many tools left in the box.June 04, 2015
It makes fans of the original "Police Story" franchise wistful for the mundane locales but extraordinary daredevil stunt work of yore.March 04, 2014
Jackie Chan makes a dull departure from his former kickass shenanigans in this rickety action-drama.June 01, 2015

'Police Story: Lockdown' was supposed to be a star vehicle, but a vehicle that doesn't let its star shine is of no use to anyone.August 12, 2015
This is predictable crime thriller fluff that you've come to expect from a deteriorating legend. Police Story: Lockdown isn't entirely awful, but it dilutes what was otherwise a nearly flawless and action packed franchise.
