Actuakers One of my all time favorites.

Console best movie i've ever seen.

ChanFamous I wanted to like it more than I actually did... But much of the humor totally escaped me and I walked out only mildly impressed.

Brendon Jones It’s fine. It's literally the definition of a fine movie. You’ve seen it before, you know every beat and outcome before the characters even do. Only question is how much escapism you’re looking for.

TheBigSick 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

Steven 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

Thomas Tokmenko Most critics dismissed this movie as another quick popcorn-action flick, however the story is deeper and more stylized than just the standard martial arts frenzy. So let's start with the bad. The issue with Flash Point is the tone of the film. The cinematography fluctuates from shooting drama and shooting action, which doesn't transition smoothly instead giving a feel of recklessness within the plot. Marketed as a spiritual successor to the great 2005 crime movie "SPL", once again Flash Point succeeds at presenting the dilemma between moral choice and consequence by an officer of the law. This time around we have less characters and acting talent alongside our lead Donnie Yen, in which gives explanation to why the emotion doesn't come across as impacting as it should. During dramatic scenes the cinematography isn't as engaging as SPL, most likely due to the lesser budget thus less screen time for establishing shots. The drama just seems to mash into the action rather than accompany it, which I believe is the biggest criticism towards the film. Now its time for the good.. Moving past the brief moments of ineffectual emotional engagement, the plot is still very well put together by director Wilson Yip. Another iconic detectives vs. gangster outing made unique with it's beautiful and gritty cinematography and exceptional display of martial arts. The flow of the events that occur are reasonable and progressively build-up the tension. Donnie Yen and Collin Chou are excellent in both acting and performing martial arts. I found the movie to be extremely entertaining and worth multiple viewings just like its parent film SPL. The drama is sufficient and not overdone like SPL though, which is one area where Flash Point is superior. There is not one moment of exhaustion related to the thick overuse of drama seen in most HK action movies. While SPL is a better written and acted film, Flash Point is more compact in structure and tells a similar story through a faster approach, which I believe works just as well. Personally I find the ending to Flash Point more satisfying and effective of it's overall message too. Final summation, if your interested in modern Hong Kong action or are a fan of Donnie Yen, then Flash Point is a must watch. -8/10

dilbertsuperman 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!
