【電影簡介】
刑警鐘文(成龍飾)一直忙于工作,對家庭始終懷有愧疚。這一天,搬出去獨立生活的女兒苗苗(景甜 飾)竟然主動相約,鐘文半夜在工作后趕赴約定地點“武吧”,“武吧”卻是一個十足新潮的酒吧,張揚的搏擊風格似乎讓許多俊男靚女們如癡如醉,但鐘文卻始終隱隱感到有些怪異。父女見面并不順利,當得知酒吧老板武江(劉燁 飾)竟是女兒的新男友時,鐘文更是有些不知所措了。
正當談話氣氛陷入尷尬之時,酒吧內卻發生意外劫持事件。農民工阿倉討要工資不成,激動之下劫持了欠薪的老板牛總(劉儀偉 飾)。為了保護現場的人質,防止沖突升級,鐘文隱瞞身份,以閑話家常般的口吻安撫阿倉。酒吧老板武江則抓住時機,以驚人的身手將阿倉制服。接到報案的警察終于趕來,眾人本以為風波已經平息,卻沒想到酒吧內濱哥、皮頌(柳海龍 飾)、濤子等人卻突然緊閉大門,暴力劫持了所有的顧客。鐘文盡力保護人質,卻被一直隱藏的武江偷襲,頭部遭重擊而昏迷。
蘇醒過來的鐘文已經落入以武江為首的一干劫匪的掌控。對手異常的鎮靜讓鐘文吃驚,面對酒吧外大批警察的包圍,武江不為所動,反而執意與鐘文玩起了“猜猜我是誰”的游戲。鐘文雖然受困,但依然敏銳的捕捉到外圍警方的突襲意圖,言語之間捕捉著武江的犯罪動機,同時展開戰術談判,誘使武江進入射擊位置——狙擊手鎖定目標即將射擊之時,鐘文終于意識到了這一切,都與一場劫持案有關。而那一起案件,同樣也是鐘文心頭難以抹去的陰影。

The key to making a box office hit in China is controversy. "Police Story 2013" may not have provoked as much discussion as Feng Xiaogang's latest movie "Personal Tailor", but there are still many issues that have got filmgoers talking.
The police action thriller stars Jackie Chan as a Chinese police officer caught in the machinations of a criminal gang. The owner of a nightclub kidnaps a group of partygoers, including the officer's daughter, played by Jing Tian. Chan must play along with the villains until he finds a way to release the hostages. But as the story unfolds a connection linking all characters is revealed.
The majority of comments focus on Jackie Chan's performance. The 60-year-old star announced his retirementfrom action films when he released "Chinese Zodiac" in 2012, but as his cooperation with director Ding Sheng developed, more action scenes were added. As a result, viewers can witness Chan getting beaten up real bad and challenging his limits at such an advanced age. Most critics appreciate Chan's efforts. And remembering his energetic roles in the previous installments of the Police Story franchise set in Hong Kong, movie fans commend Chan on his latest outing, this time set in Beijing.
The other talking point of the film is much more controversial. The quality of Jing Tian's acting has beenquestioned in previous roles, yet she's always come back with ever bigger roles. In 2013 she sent shockwaves through the movie industry by teaming up with megastars Donnie Yen, Chow Yun-fat, Jackie Chan and Liu Ye in "Special ID", "Police Story 2013" and "The Man from Macau". Working with so many stars has helped herlift her acting skills from lousy to… well, still below average. At least that's the opinion of many filmgoers who have jumped on her back yet again after what they see as a below par performance.
Police Story 2013 has generated over 270 million yuan in just 6 days and is now sitting on top of the charts in terms of daily grossing. Further proof to the theory controversy creates cash.
