If Michael Mann took too much Adderall and then collaborated with Jackie Chan, you'd get something a bit like Crime Story.
It's fun and frantic for about an hour of its runtime, and then undeniably loses the plot. I was starting to turn on it all as a result, but then the final 15 to 20 minutes come in and do a pretty good job at redeeming things.
I'd liken it to a slightly more intense and not quite as good Police Story. It scratches the same itch and does contain enough compelling Jackie Chan action scenes and stunts to make it worthy of checking out for fans of the actor.
It's not nearly one of his best 1990s efforts, and it's got some prominent flaws that have to be overlooked to some extent, but I had a blast with most of the action. There's quite a lot of it, and it's of a generally high quality.
