The title of the film, Mr Nice Guy, may not guarantee much niceness in a film that is all about drug-peddlers, gangs and people bumping each other off.

But then there is Jackie Chan starring in it.

Drug lord Giancarlo meets a local gang called the Demons. But Demons leader Bronco gets murdered by Giancarlo after stealing his cocaine. The shoot-out is caught on tape by an investigative reporter, and the tape leads to further knots in the plot.

Opening next week on the Gala Circuit.

In Extreme Measures a doctor (played by Hugh Grant) is investigating the death of a homeless man who has died from bizarre symptoms. The doctor discovers shocking details of a private medical research programme that centres around one of the country's best-known medical figures. The doctor knows that if he gets any closer to the truth his career - and even his life - may soon be over.

Opening today on the Broadway circuit, Chinachem, Empress and New York cinemas.
