This is arguably one of the best action movies ever made. Even though the kind of character that Jackie portrays has been seen many times before; the kind of cop who doesn't always play by the rules. What Jackie did was mixing Kung Fu and modern urban cop which was never really seen before.
The plot is straightforward but quite decent too. Convincing and quite fresh. Usually when it is this kind of movie it is often hard to find places where there is some hand-to-hand combat (usually have gun play). But Police Story does and in a convincing way. When I mean in a convincing way some movies always have stupid reasons for not bringing guns.
The stunts are of course dangerous in this movie and they give an extra element of excitement too. If you think this movie is all serious (if you haven't watched it) don't worry there is still some Jackie humor. Jackie has stated that this is his best action movie and who wanna argue with that? The movie got lots of action, one of the biggest stunts ever, a decent plot and a likable and convincing character (and lots of Kung-Fu fights).
As an action movie it is in my top 10 list of the Best Action Movies of all times.
10/10
