One of my all time favorites.

Highly Overrated But Still Good

Amateur movie with Big budget

It is interesting even when nothing much happens, which is for most of its 3-hour running time. Read full review

i was really disappointed with this flash point. I know it sounds good but its the same formulatic stuff that has been done a million times.a cop goes after 3 drug dealing brothers blah blah its so boring that even the intro is crap donnie yen hasn't made many films and they Arno fun either all these martial art films are the same unrealistic and hyped. Flashpoint is just bad the cop just goes after the gang andd. Events occur donnie kills em and thats it.the final fight is really bad it is unrealistic and the two people fighting take too much punishment the martial arts are the same shop sockey stuff and the wounds or bleeds are childlike realistic. I don't like it i don't like the martial arts i think there is no fun in this film i just think it is something that could of been classic but it aims at unrealism and cop struken storyline.flash point gets a 2

OK, where do i start...this a hell uva Action movie with the great Donnie Yen and it contains a lot of action and Donnie Yen has adapted Mixed Martial Arts aka MMA and it suits him fine and looks awesome on screen when Donnie Yen perform. Donnie As a screen fighter is awesome and he is my favorite actor along with Jet Li and i have seen all his movies and Dou Fo Sin aka Flash Point along with SPL aka Sha Po Lang or Kill Zone is two of his greatest movies to date except for Iron Monkey but it is a classic and no martial arts movie can beat Iron Monkey. But of Donnies later movies Flash Point And SPL are my favorites. So if you are a fan of MMA or martial arts and love Donnie Yen then there is no doubt that you must see Flash Point. TODAY!

This is your standard issue movie on one level- the cop who is suspended from the case with the love interest making him question his life, a good number of clichés thrown in around it. Internal Affairs breathing down his neck for excessive violence, etc...BUT - what is new is the sophistication of the fight scenes- you will see triangles, arm bars, a few moves that might raise an eyebrow from Jet Li fans and a lot of different guys fighting. The fight scenes more than make up for a cliché script and less than Hollywood quality special effects and acting. I saw the DUB - which I suggest since there's no way in hell you could read the subtitles and keep up with the moves-I especially liked a scene that displayed why you don't bother trying a triangle choke in a cement environment ;-)All in all, I was under-impressed with the script and very impressed with the variety and precision of the martial arts displayed, with an emphasis on brutality and directness instead of a lot of capoeira or wushu junk.PLOT: there's bad guys that are triad, there are some undercover cops- one guys partner has an injury- and then.. it's on! The triad might be able to shirk justice, but they can't shirk vengeance. And of course we have the dumb girl thrown in to go - oh me love you longtime, OH NO! I so scared! Save meeee!

Donnie Yen and Wilson Yip re-team (previously they did SPL) for a a rip roaring police actioner. The plot has cop Donnie Yen trying to take down three Vietnamese gangster brothers who are not above doing really nasty things to get their way. Funny, thrilling, with great action and a visual sense that lifts everything up from the routine. Don't get me wrong this is a a pure macho action film that would be a B movie that you've seen a dozen times before under normal circumstances, but there is something about the film that makes it all seem new or if not new, it will make it so you don't care that you have. I think the film knows its nothing special but goes for it anyway and so becomes the little film that could.Forgive me I feel like I should say more but I really can't think of anything other than just see this movie. Its one of the very few films that have come out of Hong Kong with a good reputation that lives up to it. If I have to say anything else its that I wanted to stop the film to watch it at a later time with my Dad, but found that I couldn't do so, I just wanted to keep watching.
