Jackie plays a good-hearted cop looking after his learning-disabled brother Danny, played by Sammo, but doesn't always succeed in keeping him out of trouble. When Danny is taken as a hostage, his brother will risk everything - his career and even his life --to rescue him, throwing it down as only Jackie Chan can.
Quite an engaging Jackie Chan film with the star showing more acting chops than karate chops, but it's Sammo Hung who steals the scene as his brother. His acting range is good and captures the innocence and pathos of his character. His relationship with Jackie is endearing. Despite this, there's the usual action scenes, but the story comes first. Some would call the pace in middling in the first half, but I think it's necessary to build up the characters and story.
