The Police Story film series (Chinese: 警察故事系列) comprises five Hong Kong crime-action films, directed by Jackie Chan, Stanley Tong and Benny Chan, produced by Raymond Chow, Leonard Ho, Jackie Chan, Barbie Tung, Willie Chan and Solon So. The first film Police Story was released on 14 December 1985. After the film's success, five sequels were made.  Chan began work on the film after a disappointing experience working with another director on The Protector, which was intended to be his entry into the American film market. The first Police Story film is considered by fans to be one of Chan's best films. It was a massive hit in Asia. According to his book, Chan considers the film his best, in terms of action.

This is a very poorly paced and structured movie, cutting between time periods to fill in the sort of convoluted backstory that a leaner, more propulsive piece of pulp probably wouldn't bother with in the first place.

This is a grittier Jackie Chan largely because it has to be, but a depressing sign that there simply aren't many tools left in the box.

The film's subtitle is apropos, as this is a decidedly locked-down and lead-footed talk-o-rama.

'Police Story: Lockdown' was supposed to be a star vehicle, but a vehicle that doesn't let its star shine is of no use to anyone.

It makes fans of the original "Police Story" franchise wistful for the mundane locales but extraordinary daredevil stunt work of yore.

Jackie Chan makes a dull departure from his former kickass shenanigans in this rickety action-drama.

Chan looks sufficiently grizzled as Zhong Wen with a buzz cut and more than one Lethal Weapon moment.
