Bleeding Steel

"Bleeding Steel"

Watched English movie Bleeding Steel. 

This film is directed by Leo Zhang. Written by Leo Zhang, Erica Xia-Hou, Siwei Cui. Produced by Heyi Pictures, Perfect Village Entertainment. Music by Fei Peng. Cinematography Tony Cheung. The film stars Jackie Chan, Nana Ou-Yang, Show Lo, Tess Haubrich, Callan Mulvey, Erica Xia-Hou. The film runs for 1 hour 50 minutes and was released in 2017. I watched it on OSN on 13th Aug 2021.

Officer Jacky is going to meet his dying daughter when duty calls and he is asked to escort and protect a bio scientist from one of scientist's own creations. A fight. A blast. 13 years time leap. Australia. A young girl.A father, who can't reveal their relationship. A boy who has fallen for the girl. Return of bio creation. Desperate father's fight. 

Well the story is based on the theme that this scientist has created a metallic heart and self regenerating genes. Hence bleeding Steel.  Rest is all action. 

It's a Jackie Chan film, so the action has to be good. This time it's on top of Sydney opera house, in a futuristic flying plane, on the road, in Chinatown, in the night, during the day. In short everywhere. However action is not as good as Jackie Chan movies. 

Main component of the story is revealed in snippets through flash backs. But the story is weak, very weak. There are a lot of holes and illogical things. Let's just say it's not the film's forte. 

Jackie is good. Now his age shows. Nana is sweet. Show its ok, but looks much older than Nana. Tess, Callan and Erica (who is also the writer) play the supporting role. 

Not what you expect from Jackie Chan.

Give it a miss.
