Flash Point

This is the first Kung Fu film I ever saw with Donnie Yen in it - when I had first watched it, I was really quite amazed at the choreography and the more serious plot. I've since become a huge Donnie Yen fan & have seen most of his films - going back to re-watch this Donnie Yen film, I will say it is one of his top films.Are there contrived aspects to the story - at times yes; but they can be easily overlooked (e.g., his partner that is a lightning rod for all sorts of injuries). But they serve a purpose - they put emotion behind the scenes where Donnie Yen takes the spotlight. And Donnie Yen himself really pulled off a pretty good acting performance, making his character really come to life (e.g., compared to the similar character he played in Special ID that I thought was a bit cheesy).The action scenes with Donnie Yen throughout the film are really well done, but the final action sequence is most exceptional. The scenes that develop his character are nicely done - particularly one scene reminiscent of Man on Fire with Denzel in how attempts to gain leverage over the protagonist elicit a really special type of bad-assery (for lack of a better term).So if you are new to Donnie Yen or you've seen several of his films, this film will validate (further) Donnie Yen's rapid ascent the last few years into the American film industry - e.g., XXX: Return; Star Wars: Rogue One, etc. I think we'll get to see even more incredible Donnie Yen action films in the next few years; his potential could send him higher than many of the Martial Arts stars that broke into Hollywood over the last 20 years.

Flash Point is a fast paced edge of your seat thrill ride. It has funny moments but also some of the greatest fight choreography that I have ever seen.

Just wanted to mention. I didn’t realize it til after I got it that I had it already in a dvd 3 movie park with Donnie Yen. I’m gonna send it back if I can . My bad.

First off this is a solid 4 1/2 star film. I love the groundwork in this film Donnie yen put in. He's known for his martial arts but it's awesome to see him put in some ufc style moves in there. He just elevates his ksills and acting to another level. He' s a great actor too. Cool, collected, i'm sure the girl think he's handsome and in shape too. I gave this film a 4 because I found the storyline lacking a little with no clear reason why the bad guys were indeed the enemy. They kind of just put us right in the middle of story and we are supposed to understand the good guys from the bad. I like it when a movie goes into detail about why the good guys are good and how the bad guys became what they are. I want to see the movie develop from intro >beginning> middle>end>conclusion. THis film felt like it went straight to the beginning or middle and forgot to build the storyline first. That is why I gave it 4 stars instead of 5. Other than that it's a real bad a$$ film and if you love martial arts films this is a must see too! Thanks Godbless.~shauns movie review

I've watched this a dozen times and don't skip a single scene. Editing and story contrast the way completely different types of people think, and the fight scenes are each unique and fiery. I bought it for Donnie Yen; he did an excellent performance but the whole thing overall was awesome. Super intense. Watch it.

I think this is one of the best Donnie Yen's movie. He moves so fast in some sections, I had to rewind it and play it forward slowly. I was raised on Bruce Lee, and Donnie Yen is VERY impressive. Has his own style, and as I mentioned...he is FAST. Want more? Try "Kung Fu Killer".

overall great acting, good plot, and a solid amount of action, fight scenes, etc.donnie's partner, 'wilson' does a great lead supporting role job as wellamong donnie's top 5 IMHO...

Don't pay attention to the reviews about misdirected sub plots and poor acting...The fight choreography is incredible! The final fight scene is a Kung Fu fans dream! I would have to say that it's probably bar none the best fight I've ever seen in a movie. This should be a gem of anyone's Donnie Yen collection.

Trotz Kritiken ist man sich letztens doch immer unsicher ob der Film auch gut ist. Dieser ist besser als gut. Nachdem die Handlung Fahrt aufgenommen hat und der Zuschauer weiß, wer zu wem gehört, reißt die Spannung nicht mehr ab. Die Action ist klasse gemacht. Alles im allen ein top Film. Kaufen kaufen...
