great action
|
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.
|
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
|
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
|
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!!
| 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!!!!! |

Is okay!
|
The movie was okay I would say. It only came to the best part when he was having a good whack to the bad guy at the end. Overall mostly gun shooting and thrashing. |

Best Fifgting movie Ever
| The fighting scene is the best scene in all movies I've ever seen , including Jet Li , Jackie Chan , Tony Jaa , or even Steven Seagal or Matt Damon in Bourne series . Donnie can do the MMA (multiple Martial arts) perfectly . The fighting scene music also perfect . can't wait to watch the next Donnie's movie . |

intelligent action
| This film is set before SPL. The theme and plot are very standard, but with interesting new ideas. The bad guys are very bad, but human too. The pace, fighting, stunts and camera work make the standard plot exciting again. The fact the bad guys are so vicious makes you happy when they are killed, and their business ended. The fighting is complicated, but it feels totally realistic. The extras DVD is superb and a must view for all Hong Kong cinema fans. |
