Three and a half stars

Supercop

(Miramax)

Jackie Chan plays a happy-go-lucky policeman who's enlisted to join forces with a beautiful Mainland Chinese officer (the amazing Michelle Yeoh) to capture a major Asian drug dealer. What matters is the Astaire-like elegance of Chan's stunts and the goofy, Stan Laurel-like stoicism with which he performs them. Raucous, hilarious, and choreographed with breathtaking daring and subtlety, Supercop kicks ass with charm and wit.
