September 27, 2011Superb HK action film with martial arts superstar Donnie Yen and it boasts some incredible action sequences with explosive hard hitting fight combinations. Mixing many styles, Yen has created some extraordinary fight scenes for this movie.
The camera-work is spot on and captures ... read more -
January 31, 2011a slight step up from kill zone for me as yip and yen come back together for another decent martial arts cop drama. the story was serviceable at best, but the film was massively entertaining and the fight sequences were solid.

February 5, 2009Like SPL, it could have been a lot better, seems they are just stretching a very simple story way more than they should. If you really can't write a story like Infernal Affairs then just don't try it, just go for the action.
That said, the final fight between Donnie and Collin... read more -
October 8, 2007Donnie Yen has still got the moves. There is no doubt about that. You've probably heard some good things about the fights in this film and they are, more than likely, true.
The story is average, but for a movie like this it is more than satisfactory. Where the story really l

April 13, 2012It's been a while since I've seen Donnie Yen in the starring role of movie so I decided to watch one of his more recent efforts. While Donnie Yen once again delivers some great action scenes, the movie story prevents is from being great.

January 1, 2010All 5 stars of this movie is accredited to the last action scene of the film. If I was to rate the film as a whole it'd be a lot less. You have to endure about three quarters of the film and one bruuuuuutal beat down by Donnie Yen to get to one of the greatest fight scenes in rec... read more

September 6, 2009In his black leather jacket and oozing plenty of charisma, Donnie Yen's Inspector Ma Jun quite resembled his other character in Sha po lang, which was also directed by Wilson Yip, because at one point Flash Point was supposed to be an Sha po ... read more

February 10, 2009Lukewarm HK actioneer ...Donnie Yen is a strong fighter but a weak actor. Louis Koo can act fine, but he is not the 'star' and has a more limited role. This movie comes off as FLAT, lacking real tension and drama. It also suffers from uneven pacing and a thin plotline that wa... read more

October 15, 2007Follows the cop drama formula, but 'Flash Point' stands out from the rest. This boasts some fantastic camera work and cool fight scenes. Donnie Yen is so badass in this.

Yen has developed a recent passion for mixed martial arts, and his more traditional punches and flying kicks are supplemented by some close-quarters Muay Thai kicks and even some jujitsu submission ho... Full Review

Flash Point comes loaded with cliches and immediately starts blasting them in every direction. Full Review

Flash Point plays like the last hurrah of a criminal underclass facing the inevitable shrinking of its bottom line. Full Review

Nothing more than a dumb action picture with delusions of Johnnie To-dom. Full Review

If you're a fan of Hong Kong police flicks, then you know that at any given moment, it seems like 50 percent of the force is deep undercover in the triads. Full Review

I really wanted to see a fun mindless martial arts film. But the story is so familiar that it beoomes boring. Full Review

Peter Canavese, Groucho Reviews
It's all about the extensive climax, a gunfight turned mixed martial arts throwdown.

Those with a taste for bone-crushing martial arts executed with real skill and flair are not likely to find anything better on American screens for some time. Full Review
