AshUnow This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.

Humaira Grant It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.

Hayden Kane There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes

Kirandeep Yoder The joyful confection is coated in a sparkly gloss, bright enough to gleam from the darkest, most cynical corners.

Paul Magne Haakonsen I never got around to watching "Gen X Cops" when it was initially released, but just got the chance here in 2012. Looking at the cover I must say that I was a little bit hesitant about it as it had a bunch of the "pretty young boys" of Hong Kong cinema on the cast list. But still, being a fan of Asian and Hong Kong cinema, I decided to give it a go.And I must honestly say that I was thoroughly entertained and the movie was far better than I had expected it to be.The story is about three young police officers, Jack (played by Nicholas Tse), Match (played by Stephen Fung) and Alien (played by Sam Lee) who are cocky, reckless and lacking discipline. Kicked from the police force, the eccentric inspector Chan (played by Eric Tsang) recruits the youngsters as a special unit force to avert a disastrous situation between Hong Kong weapons dealer Daniel (played by Daniel Wu) and Japanese terrorist Akatora (played by Tôru Nakamura). Tensions run high and a lot is at stake for all involved.The story was actually quite good, despite having these particular people on the cast list. I will say that it was actually a joy to see Sam Lee in this movie, and of the young "pretty" boys, he is actually the one and only of whose movies I really enjoy. Aside from that fact, then Eric Tsang was great in the movie as well. More so, it was spectacular to have Francis Ng (playing Lok) in a small supportive, but very influential role, and he always do a great job. And of course, Jackie Chan's cameo was great as well."Gen X Cops" is full of action and adrenaline, and sure it does appeal more to a younger audience, but still it was a great action movie if you enjoy Hong Kong action cinema. And it was a visual treat to see the Hong Kong Convention & Exhibition Center to be blown up. Given, this isn't up to the level of John Woo's action movies from the 90's, but still it was good entertainment.Having seen this movie now, I am definitely going to give the sequel a watch within the nearest future.

jake-179 This movie totally SUCKED! I was SHOCKED! I rented this movie because Jackie Chan produced it, and I figured I was in for a real action movie, Jackie Chan style. What I got was a load of slop! I kept waiting for the movie to get better and it never did. There are NO Jackie Chan style action sequences. The story is paper thin. The fat, stupid cop named "Chan," is a character for whom the audience is supposed to feel sorry, but you hate him just as much as the characters in the movie do! They are all making fun of him and you have to agree with them! He is not likable. Neither are the Gen X cops! They are just a bunch of punks. I would have liked to have seen at least ONE Jackie Chan style fight scene, but there wasn't any to be found.At the end of the movie, Jackie Chan makes a cameo as a fisherman. He tells the three young punks, "When I was your age, I was stronger, faster, and better." That line sums up this movie! It is totally true! Not only was Jackie better when he was younger, he still IS better and he is more than twice the age of the stars of this movie! They did not display ANY talent worth watching.As if that wasn't enough, the plot and dialogue were absolutely awful. This is nothing but cheap, poorly written crap. I hated this movie and I am sorry I rented it. This movie is not up to standard for a Jackie Chan project. Avoid at all costs!

Venus8 The actors were all new to me. I've not watched HK films in years before watching this one, and compared to the horrible movies i've seen before, the ones that left me wanting a refund for my time, this wasn't so bad. The faces were fresh and some of them were just eye candy, a definite incentive to see this film again and again. Of course, if you are one to watch for interesting plots, HK films aren't for you.

Deeply_in_luv Duc gen sun yun lui kicks ass !!!!!!!! I`ve never seen a action movie as good as this. Tse, Fung and Lee are cool as their characters. The action is pumping and non-stop as our three heros try to stop a notorious gangster named Akatora from reeking havoc in Hong Kong. Top notch and thumbs up. If I had a rating..it`d be 4/5.
