First Strike (1996)
3/10
Confusing as a thriller, with a lack of action
4 February 2002
First of all, i should point out that I saw a dubbed version of this movie - which made it very hard to follow. the plot is something to do with stolen nuclear warheads, and double crosses between various bad guys, which Jackie Chan gets caught up in. This Bond-wannabe action movie jumps from glamorous location to glamorous location (Hong Kong, Ukraine, Australia), without really explaining why. The action scene's for which Jackie is famous are limited, with a dramatic fight in building being renovated at the top of the pile, and some well choreographed underwater action second.

Overall, the story isn't strong enough to fill in the gaps between the occasionally badly-shot action.
