فيلم جيد!

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!

A kick-ass police procedural with superb action sequences to carry it through. That's all you need to know about this Hong Kong thriller, which utilises a somewhat tired plot line about cops going after a brutal criminal gang as a basis for some absolutely stunning martial arts scenes involving man-of-the-moment, Donnie Yen. Watching this, I was immediately reminded of the storyline of NEW POLICE STORY. Both films involve a thuggish gang of criminals who are always one step ahead of the law, sending bombs to the police, hurting and killing the innocent, with a determined lone detective hot on their trail. I felt that the Jackie Chan film had the emotional edge, but the plot here was perfectly watchable after a slightly shaky start. Of course, such stories are nothing new and hardly anything that happens here is new. Therefore it has to get by on energy alone, and it succeeds with a kind of breathless determinism. There are a handful of action scenes, mostly brutal fights, thrown in along the way to keep viewers watching, but these are nothing compared to the large-scale climax, a shoot-out between the good and the bad followed by an extremely protracted showdown between hero and villain. It feels very much like an 'old school' kung fu flick, this ending, as scenery is destroyed and Yen battles the villainous Collin Chou for supremacy. Both actors went on record to say that this was the toughest fight scene they'd ever taken part in, and it shows; it's eye-wateringly brutal, full of amazing moves and relentless energy. Yen is on top form as the hard-ass cop, and I liked his character. There's little of the vain posturing that spoiled his performance in DRAGON TIGER GATE. He's ably supported by the likes of Louis Koo as a sympathetic undercover cop, Bingbing Fan as Koo's girlfriend, and Chou as the slick bad guy. I found that the film looked good and I was entertained throughout, so I give this one a thumbs-up.

I've been a fan of Donnie Yen for over twenty years now and had heard that the fight action in Flashpoint was amongst his best work. I hadn't heard wrong: the hard-hitting full-contact mixed martial arts scenes are as awesome as they say. It's a shame then that the plot for Flashpoint is so unremarkable, a routine Hong Kong police drama—cops vs triads—which introduces lots of indistinguishable characters in such quick succession that, for a while, it's hard to work out precisely who is good and who is bad. The dull plot trundles along, with the occasional brief spot of action or brutality to spice things up, and it gradually becomes clearer who is who: Archer Sin (Ray Lui), Tony (Collin Chou) and Tiger (Yu Xing) are Korean brothers who run a smuggling operation, Sam is a gangster who has ratted on his bosses, Wilson (Louis Koo) is a plucky young undercover cop working with tough police inspector Jun Ma (Yen), and Julie (Bingbing Fan) is Wilson's really hot girlfriend. So far so mediocre. The final third of the film, however, is a whole lot better. A non-stop, blood-soaked, showdown between Ma and the bad guys, with incredible gunplay and some of the most painful looking fight choreography I have ever seen, it is everything I had hoped for and more, leaving the viewer with a better impression of the film overall than it probably really deserves. Hence my more than reasonable rating of 7/10.

This is a poorly-made movie on many levels. The story is weak, the characters are non-existent, the dialogue is child-like, and there were some really stupid moments and things that don't make sense. It did a terrible job getting me invested in the story or the characters. There were two good fight scenes, including an awesome one in the middle (donnie yen vs white shirt guy). Other than that, i found almost no enjoyment from this (1 viewing, 4/4/2021)

This is surely one of Donnie Yen's best films. The fight sequences are well choreographed with a lot of MMA (Mixed Martial Arts) in it. MMA is an interdisciplinary form of fighting using elements of Brazilian jiu-jitsu, judo, karate, boxing, kickboxing and wrestling. The fight scene between Donnie Yen and Collin Chou relies extensively on MMA, and is particularly thrilling and entertaining

Forget about the plot! While it is not bad it is only present to set the mood! It does take up a whole hour however! So you have to endure it! But believe me it will be worth the wait! When the real action begins you will be in for a treat! Intense Donnie Yen displaying his wonderful mix of Wushu and Jujitsu! His use of martial arts in this movie does make sense! It is realistic and practical! It is called mixed martial arts! ( read interview with Donnie Yen,use Google: article Donnie Yen on flash point combat.) This new type of martial arts offers different and refreshing possibilities to the genre! And it looks great on the screen! If it didn't (no matter how practical) I would not accept this style! The final fight between Donnie and Colin is what the fight between Sammo Hung and Donnie should have been in "SPL"! This shows that Donnie is always learning and wanting to improve himself! I can't even imagine what Donnie's next movie "Painted Skin" again directed by Wilson Yip would be like ! This golden duo should keep on making movies together! In comparison to previous movies ("SPL" and "Dragon Tiger Gate" made by Wilson Yip and Donnie) "Flashpoint" is the best of the bunch!

The first half is slow, with one good scene of parkour. The ending will round it up. Amazing fight scenes in the last 20 mins. This is an action flick done very well well by an action star for action fans. It has some of the most intense and bone crunching action specially the last fight sequence. The plot is not that great. We hav seen many times about cops n gangsters. But who cares. Its the action we action fans enjoy. Editing was a bit tedious. There was some good cinematography during the last fight scenes. Good guns n bullets scenes. The guy who puts his hand in the toilet to remove his cell phone looks like a poor man's shahrukh khan. Donnie yens choreography was amazing. The guy was good in Kill zone n Ip man trilogy. Action/martial arts movie fans shud definitely check this out. Directed by Wilson Yip (Ip man-1, 2 n 3, Kill zone).

Donny Yen plays a no nonsense cop who basically beats up every bad guy in this film. The movie is about Donny Yen and his partner who is undercover trying arrest some drug smugglers. The plot is nothing special and you don't really care for the characters that much but you should't be here for the plot or the acting. The action/fighting in this movie is incredible. The last fight scene is one the the best fight scenes I have ever seen put on film. My recommendation would be to watch the first 10 minutes and then skip to the last 30 minutes of the movie because nothing really happens in between. His partner falls in love and there is a car chase that's nothing special. Watch it for the great fights, not for the acting or plot. Rating: 10 for the fights, 5 for everything else = 7
