MoPoshy Absolutely brilliant

Lollivan It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.

Jonah Abbott There's no way I can possibly love it entirely but I just think its ridiculously bad, but enjoyable at the same time.

Guillelmina The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.

Fella_shibby 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).

Jordache Wee Flash Point was made to be a prequel to SPL: Sha Po Lang, reusing same actors from SPL. Flash Point follows the story of Inspector Ma's feat on capturing the drug dealers, but his operation went wrong when his mole is discovered.It is no doubt that the extreme violence in this film intensified since SPL. Despite being a law enforcer, Inspector Ma neglect the rules by brutally killing one of the drug dealers with his bare hands. Though justice has been held but it's not his verdict to do so.Although, the story is not as enjoyable as SPL. It still shows significant fight scenes of Yen's potential.--Three brothers Archer (Ray Lui), Tony (Collin Chou) and Tiger (Xing Yu) discusses rival gang leader, Sam (Ben Lam), a rival gang leader on a drug deal.While Inspector Ma Jun (Donnie Yen) and a team of police officers, raids the nightclub for investigation, and fights with Wilson (Louis Koo), who is his undercover agent.Soon, the brothers are betrayed and attacked by Sam and his gang who are impatient on receiving the drugs from Vietnam. Archer and his brothers threaten the elder leaders of their gang when they try to intervene. Tiger is assigned to kill Sam in public but Wilson intervenes.At the hospital, Sam agrees to testify in court against the three brothers. On the night of their mother's birthday, the brothers plan to recover their drug loot, but Archer is arrested by the Hong Kong police.

Inspector Ma discovers that Tiger, has disguised as a janitor, is within the building and chase after him, they both end up being in the same elevator where Tiger tries to kill Ma with a silenced pistol.They engage in a fight but a unfortunate female police officer was shot by a stray bullet after hesitating to shoot Tiger. Tony kidnapped Wilson's girlfriend, Julie (Fan Bingbing)and threatens to kill her, because Wilson is the last surviving witness.Inspector Ma chases Tiger when he tries to escape and brutally beats him to death in front of a crowd after Tiger severely injures a little girl by throwing her on the concrete. During the court hearing, Wilson refuses to testify, and the case is dismissed for lack of evidence. Wilson attempts to rescue Julie, but is captured by Tony and his gang.Happily Archer walks free but Inspector Ma holds him captive, and calls his brother, Tony, for an exchange of hostages, at a rural Chinese village. Inspector Ma exchanges Tony for Wilson and Julie, while he and Tiger goes across to Tony's side, to take them all down. Wilson drives Julie to a safe point and returns to help Inspector Ma but he got killed during his pursuit with Archer. The final battle ends with Inspector Ma and Tony, with Tony defeated after a long and tough fight.

KineticSeoul After playing "Sleeping Dogs" the video game. I wouldn't be shocked if the developers got some ideas from this movie. Although it isn't a practical movie it does have that Hong Kong kung fu cop movie flare to it. When it comes down to it, it just isn't a movie that stand out all that much for these types of genre. But it's still a entertaining flick, it has undercover cop elements in this movie but that isn't the main focus. But it revolves around cops and undercover cop trying to take down a triad group. There isn't as many fight scenes as I expected but there is one on foot chase scene that uses parkour, a shoot out near the end and 2 fight scenes that somewhat stands out. Especially the final fight which both guys uses everything they have to beat each other up, including grappling and is the main highlight of this movie. Overall it's a good Hong Kong kung fu cop movie with good enough stunts but nothing amazing.7/10

diggler_inc Flashpoint is a beautifully shot film that moves a long at a fast pace. I was never much of a Donnie Yen fan but I have been converted to one after seeing this film. Hollywood needs to bring him back, at least as an action choreographer. The action scenes in this film are far more sophisticated than anything Hollywood is doing.Wilson Yip did an amazing job as director. It's a shame this didn't get a U.S. theatrical release. If Hollywood is smart, they will recruit him.Bingbing Fan is a beauty that should also be brought to Hollywood.Flashpoint doesn't break new ground in terms of it being a typical cops and gangsters flick, but it is as good as any of them.The fights are excellent and realistic.Flashpoint is highly recommended for HK movie fans.
