Hong Kong is trying to shut down the heroin trade, and who better to do it than Jackie Chan? He goes to mainland China, is vetted by spit-and-polish Interpol inspector Michelle Yeoh, who is not impressed by what she sees. Nonetheless, Chan breaks Ailen Sit out of prison to gain his trust and entree to the heroin ring. Yeoh again shows up and plays his sister in a plot that has explosions in Burma and a stunt finale in Malaysia.
Miss Yeoh is top-billed, and it's more her sort of movie; the stunts are thrilling rather thrill comedy setpieces. Still, she does offer some good reactions to Chan's hesitant buffoonery, bickers amusingly in character as his sibling, and is as fearless as he in stuntwork. It's an effective pairing.
