Project A

About This Movie

Project A is a fascinating blend of action and comedy, set against the backdrop of 19th century Hong Kong. Jackie Chan directs and stars as Dragon Ma, a coast guard officer with a mission to uphold honor while navigating the chaotic waters ruled by pirates. The film's pacing is beautifully erratic, with a mix of slapstick humor and intense martial arts sequences. What really stands out are the practical effects—Chan's stunts are jaw-dropping, often performed in one take. The chemistry among the cast, especially with his sidekick played by Sammo Hung, brings a light-heartedness that balances the more serious themes of loyalty and duty. If you're into films that seamlessly merge styles, this one's a standout.
