VANGUARD

Equal parts martial arts actioner and political thriller, this pulse-pounder from China focuses on the international security outfit Vanguard. Jackie Chan stars as Vanguard's honcho, whose team has their hands full making sure an accountant (Jackson Lou) isn't snatched up by the Arctic Wolves, a deadly band of mercenaries hired to turn their number-crunching quarry over to the terrorist organization the Brotherhood of Vengeance. With Yang Yang, Lun Ai. 107 min. Widescreen; Soundtrack: Mandarin; Subtitles: English. In Mandarin with English subtitles.
