Like 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)
He just beat the other guy into a pulp. What a dumb movie. Donnie Yen ego trip - full stop.
Lukewarm 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)
Follows 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.
In 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)
We get a very poor script here. Like most Wilson Yip films, the story is crap, but the Martial Arts sequences blow you away, and that's wat this film does. Donnie Yen's performance is brilliant.
great action city fights will make you watch this movie again and again ..must see

The movie plot was pretty average. About police and triads. But a little spice to jazz up the whole movie was the fact that this movie was done almost to the real life story. (That's what I heard.)
But thumbs up for the fights in the movie, especially Donnie Yen. He's the tough police who fight with the triads as violent. Let's not talk about the storyline, but his skills on fighting is really great.
He looked cute, he looked charming when he's fighting, thinking and yah! wearing the leather jacket! Haha!
The duration was pretty short, that's what i dislike about. :(
Anyway, a pretty good movie. Yay!
