YesAsia Editorial Description

The Donnie Yen-Wilson Yip tag team return with the blistering actioner Flash Point. The actor-director combo previously made waves with SPL and Dragon Tiger Gate, reaching new levels of excitement with their depiction of onscreen martial arts mayhem. Flash Point is a return to SPL territory - at least character-wise. This prequel to SPL finds Yen's Inspector Ma involved in a difficult case versus a trio of deadly Vietnamese bad guys. Inspector Ma's partner Wilson (Louis Koo) poses as a member of the gang to keep tabs on the trio, leading to the arrest of Archer (Ray Lui of To Be Number One). However, Archer's cohorts Tony (Collin Chou of The Matrix Reloaded) and Tiger (Xing Yu of Kung Fu Hustle) are still at large, and will stop at nothing to prevent Wilson and other witnesses from testifying. When they kidnap Wilson's girlfriend (Fan Bing Bing) to blackmail him, only Inspector Ma is willing to come to his partner's aid - and whoever stands in his way had better watch out!

In Flash Point, Donnie Yen utilizes Mixed Martial Arts (MMA) to portray Inspector Ma's powerful fighting prowess. Yen pulls out a full arsenal of fighting techniques, from kung-fu to Muay Thai to jujitsu, especially during the film's climactic mano-a-mano duel between Yen and Collin Chou, which should astound even the most jaded screen fighting fan. A duel between Yen and Xing Yu in street restaurant is also impressive, as are the flashes of stuntwork and gunplay from the action-ready cast. Louis Koo embodies his undercover cop character with appropriate pathos, and the cast is aided by the addition of award-winning actors, including Kent Cheng, Best Actor winner for The Log, and Helena Law Lan, Best Actress winner for Wilson Yip's Bullets Over Summer. The Donnie Yen-Wilson Yip combo has proven so successful that the two are planning to work together at least two more times, including a forthcoming adaptation of the popular pulp character Dr. Wesley.

great action Customer Review Rated Bad 8 - 8 out of 10
I have been a Donnie Yen fan for few years.In the 2000's he was probably one of the most entertaining martial arts actor on screen.Over the past few years he has proven himself not just as martial arts actor but also a fight choreographer and a stunt performer.

Flash Point was Donnie Yen's third collabaration with the director Wilson Yip.The film is not as good as SPL because the story is way too thin and the running time should have been at least 110 mins instead of 88-minutes long.But the film is still entertaining thanks to brilliantly choreographed action by Yen and his team.And you can tell the challenges of filming and communicating the essence of MMA techniques in the dramatics of the film.

The two disc limited edition is good but the extras could of been long but there ok.It has interviews,deleted scene much more.

Donnie Yen at his best. Customer Review Rated Bad 8 - 8 out of 10
One would expect so much from another collaboration between Yen and Yip after there hugely successful SPL. This film has many aspects that is similar to the fore mentioned picture, with Donnie playing his hard hitting cop as usual, a fearful mob boss (this time played by the under rated Collin Chou), an under cover cop (Louis Koo) and one heck of a throwdown that surpasses SPL's Sammo Vs. Donnie.

The story has been done countless of times and is pretty much predictable so don't go expecting an intense thriller because you will be disappointed. Without Donnie Yen and co. the film would have failed but because of Donnie's action it succeeds by delivering full contact confrontations that has been lacking in recent HK films. Much of the picture is focused on the drama and like SPL the action does not come until later on in the picture but when it does come it such a refreshing choreography. During the start of the film the action scenes are very brief and provides as a taster to what is to come, with a brif cameo from JC stuntman Ben Lam (Legend of the wolf) but unfortunately he does not let loose any martial artistry.

The highlight of the film is definitly the fight between Collin and Donnie and it does not fail to disappoint this alone is worth watching the film for it is a 20 minute long har hitting full contact sparring between 2 great martial artists.

Donnie Yen's signature kick Customer Review Rated Bad 8 - 8 out of 10
This is a typical good against evil kind of movie. 3 Vietnamese brothers, eldest likes to show off, the other two can fight. They ventured into illegal activities while Louis Koo is an undercover cop working for them. Storyline is simple and fine. Don't worry, once in awhile you will be entertained by some humor from Louis Koo. Donnie Yen? Well, if you have watched Donnie Yen's SPL (same director for Flash Point), you might be disappointed with his fighting style here. I went for this movie because of Donnie Yen. I love the way he fights. However, he seems to use more on Judo (not sure) instead of his common punches and kicks. That is why I still prefer the fighting scenes from SPL where you can really see how DY fights his opponents and the way he moves or even counterattacks. Overall, worth watching, go see how Donnie Yen kicks the crooks with style!!

Impressive Stuff Customer Review Rated Bad 10 - 10 out of 10
Definitely a movie worth buying!
The fight scenes are so amazing that you wince in pain and grit your teeth in agonising fear that Donnie Yen's punch may make its way out of the television and fly inches from your face due to his sheer power...
Good plot, great actors and amazing fights!
Recommend this film to anyone who loves their action movies!

Hong Kong Action is back!! Customer Review Rated Bad 10 - 10 out of 10
Isn't it embarrassing that when you see all those Hollywood awards going to 'best fight' or 'best stunt' they do it without ever list an A-grade film like this or numerous other Asian actioneers? Lets face it, there is nothing that America can pull off that comes close to the excitement, power and energy of this, or any Yen and Yip collaberation. Flash point rocks! My disc is almost worn out from watching it over and over again. The golden age of HK cinema is surely coming back!!!!!
