The Tracker (2001)
Spears, a private detective working in L.A. receives word from an old friend that the friend's sister (and Spears' ex-girlfriend), Kim, has been kidnapped by a criminal gang. At first, Spears doesn't want to get involved, especially when he finds out that his friend's family is mixed up with the Chinese Mafia, but the feelings he still has for Kim lead him to return to New York and try to rescue her. When he arrives, he learns that Kim is caught in the middle of a war with the Russian Mafia, and that her life now depends on him.

Very best movie i ever watch
Fresh and Exciting
To all those who have watched it: I hope you enjoyed it as much as I do.
A movie that not only functions as a solid scarefest but a razor-sharp satire.
The plot is for a pretty basic action-martial arts flick, but the movie ends up being a little below average, I will attempt to explain why. First the plot: A bounty hunter has to help a martial arts instructor (and former friend) find his sister who has been captured by heavily armed thugs, dressed as members of a S.W.A.T Team. This movie features several failed attempts at humor, but its only ever funny when it doesn't mean to be; as one reviewer has already mentioned, there is a scene where the heroes are being followed while in a taxi so they tear off the taxi sign, hoping to throw off the bad guys; what the other viewer didn't mention was that they do it right in front of the car they're trying to lose! There are also lines of dialog such as (slightly paraphrased) "Are my eyes open? I can't believe what I'm hearing." I'm surprised that know one has mentioned the fact that this is a martial arts movie, as the fight scenes are probably the only thing that makes this film tolerable; not that the're the best fights ever filmed, but the're just entertaining enough to keep you watching all the way through. OK, lets see; is there anything else that I would like to add? Nope, I guess not. Goodbye now.
This is a action cop buddy movie...sort off.Casper Van Dein is a cop who quit for personal reasons and Russell Wong is a Cop looking for his kidnapped sister...that is the background Story that the movie is built on.I Normally like Russell Wong, this is one of his weakest outings,his marshal skills are not used at all, and he gets the brunt of the many stupid lines,Casper fairs only slightly better.This movie opens strong with a very violent and action packed gun battle,slips to mediocrity for an hour or so,with a few funny lines and a bit of charm sprinkled in between poor diologue and too many close ups of Casper Van D. Then it takes a sudden turn in the last 10 min and manages to come up with a interesting closing act.All in all I can't recommend the movie but I would not try to stop someone from watching it...I have seen it twice since it came out.
Ok well I enjoyed this movie, it seemed to have everything in it. It had twists plots, and even a bit of a laugh, but still great movie. Casper brings great life into the character, and as always Casper makes the film so much more enjoyable.
This movie's got to be one of the worst plot-wise that I've seen. The characters are, for most of the movie till the end, pretty dumb. For instance, the good guys tried to lose the car that's following them. So they first took off the medallion off a NYC taxicab, then broke the light. Yeah, that's going to work. Well, it did.But it's so bad that's it's funny, and the end's quite a surprise. Don't expect what the film-makers behind this one say. Pretend it's a comedy. Don't expect great stuff till the end. It'll be a good ride.
