    Jacky Wu delivers in this punchfest thinly disguised as a melodrama. The fighting and action work best; the drama not so much. Fairly stereotypical characters well acted keeps this HK film interesting and moves at a decent clip. The main problem is the ending..it simply elici...( read more)ts behavior that is out of character with the main leads (Jacky and Miki) and brings the story to a screeching halt. Watch it for the fights though...fine choreography that will keep you engrossed.

    Fantastic fight scenes and a decent story make this one a great purchase from the always great Dragon Dynasty. Plus the ending is a corker.

    Very entertaining. Incredible display of martial arts from Jacky Wu. The storyline however, ruined a movie that had the potential of being really good. The ending made no sense to me as it defeated the purpose of the main character's struggle. I rate this movie above avarege base...( read more)d only on the great fight scenes and the good performances by Jackie Wu and Andy On.

    EPIC! Wu Jing was amazing in this film. At times, the film did start to have that video game style to it, and that kinda ruined some of it's potential.

    i thought it was a great kung fu movie. Storyline was there and the fight choreography was great. If there were ropes you couldnt tell and moves had amazing timing and choreography. I still think ong bak and the protector are the best ever but this one is really good.

    A good movie that could've been a great movie if they'd done a few things differently. In terms of action Fatal Contact completely delivers. Jacky Wu is one of the most exciting martial artists to watch these days. That's why it kinda sucks there weren't just a few more...( read more) fight sequences thrown in here. The story was run-of-the-mill, but I liked the characters, humor and, of course, the amazing fights. The main problem was that in the last 15 minutes this movie goes right down the toilet. Too bad, this could've been a great flick with a little more fighting and a better ending.

    While the martial arts were great. The movie was pretty boring as a whole.
