In order to foster good international cooperation, "Inspector Chan Ka Kui" (Jackie Chan) is temporarily loaned out to the C.I.A. to monitor a suspect on a flight to Ukraine. When the flight lands, he touches base with his point-of-contact and is supposedly finished with his assignment. However, he just happens to notice something peculiar and out of instinct follows the same suspect to an isolated location. When he calls in he is asked to continue surveillance. Things then take an immediate turn for the worse after this. Now rather than reveal anything else, I will just say that this particular film was neither better nor worse than the other three "Police Story" movies. If anything I suppose that the humor was probably more noticeable but the action wasn't quite as intense. Still, Jackie Chan was as sensational as ever and he once again demonstrates that he is in a class of his own. In any case, while I didn't think this movie was the best in the series I certainly think it's worth a watch for those who might enjoy an action-comedy of this type. Slightly above average.
