Yen Is a Monster!
by Brian Lueth (Chicago, IL United States)
Oh baby! Donnie Yen is action personified! If you like your HK action films with loads of amazing mixed martial arts battles, cracking bones, hundreds of bullets and awesome ultra-action cinematography, you've simply gotta check out Flash Point!
Granted the story here isn't anything new, we've seen the "deep cover gone wrong" and "rogue cop going too far" films before so watching Flash Point isn't going to offer us some fresh perspective on crime cinema. What it does offer though is something we all know and love which is unhinged cops handing psychopathic criminals their duffs. It's tried, true and always entertaining! Why fix it if it ain't broken, right?
The real highlight here is the incredible fight sequences which are perfectly choreographed and equally savage. Yen's style is like watching a classic piece of art being painted in front of your very eyes; it's beautiful to watch. Those of you familiar with MMA will spot all types of styles including Muay Thai Boxing, Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, Judo and even a little Greco-Roman Wrestling! You know you're going to get something special when the DVD's back cover synopsis promises a 16 minute fight sequence and I'll be damned if we don't!
Flash Point is good guys, bad guys and loads of exciting fight sequences. What more could you ask for? The film probably could have spent a little more time developing characters and the script could have been a bit more in-depth but this isn't high art. It's all about the action, the explosions, gun battles and fist-to-fight throw downs. This is mucho entertaining so check it out.

Flash Point Review
by Huy T Dang
This is a good movie with better then expected acting and story line. The martial arts fight scenes are unique, as it defines the traditional stand-up and ground moves. It is really a 3.5 star, but 4 is close enough.
3/5
Definitely had potential, just fell short.
by Timothy Smith
This had the potential to be a 5 star all the way. I loved the display of mixed martial arts. I loved the settings and the actors. It's just that, the number of fights we're lacking. In fact Donnie Yen only fought two bad guys in this one. The last fight was awesome, and the other one wasn't a good fight at all. It ended fast and the other guy was manhandled by Donnie Yen. Then there was some good gunplay at the end. But when a movie goes off and I'm just expecting something else to happen, it shows that the movie really didn't fill my appetite.
I finally came to give this a 3 after watching it a couple more times. If this movie would've had a couple more fight scenes that we're impressive, it could have easily earned a 5 star from me. It was less of an action film and more of a drama film. Just a bad balance between action and drama to me.
As any other kung fu or action film that falls short of a 4 or 5, I trade it back in. I wish this movie we're better so I wouldn't have to do that. But I have no choice. My opinion on this movie is it's worth a rental and watch. After that it's no use to keep it around.
5/5
Fast paced action
by The Princess Talks (IL)
I got this movie because I saw a preview of it on the internet and I am glad I did, because it was great. I loved Donnie Yen, he's a great fighter. The whole movie had great action scenes. I'm definitely adding this movie to my martial arts/action collection.
4/5
Worth The Watch
by Pen Name (Sonoma Cnty., Calif. USA)
I liked this one and I'm glad I have it in my video library. I had only become aware of Donnie Yen with Ip Man, and I REALLY liked Ip Man. (So did my wife. And she isn't normally a martial arts movie fan.) I've got to agree with the reviewer from Quebec who stated in essence that the plot was typical cop stuff. But I felt the flow made the movie entertaining and Yen's MMA fighting in the movie compel me to rate it high. Not only were the fight scenes very well done and fun to watch, but the stunt work was good as well. You can tell there were some sore players at the end of filming this movie.
Flash Point Summary
Kung fu legend Donnie Yen (Hero, Seven Swords) returns as the police force's most dangerous detective, building a case against a vicious trio of drug smuggling brothers. When evidence is destroyed and witnesses are murdered, he takes the fight directly to his enemies - no holds barred.
