While the films of Johnnie To continue to mine their rich vein of gunplay and codes of honor, new-school director Wilson Yip and actor/fight choreographer Donnie Yen represent the absolute cutting edge of the Hong Kong action genre, foregrounding hyper-kinetic mixed martial arts fight setpieces that showcase Yen's unique blend of Western boxing, Muay Thai kicking, and a Brazilian brand of jujitsu called capoeira. Flash Point, set in 1996 prior to Hong Kong's handover to mainland China, serves up the familiar yarn of cops determined to bring down crooks who always seem to be one step ahead: Yen is maverick cop Ma, whose partner Wilson (Louis Koo) has successfully infiltrated a rising Triad gang led by Tony (Collin Chou). How long before Wilson's cover is blown? How long until the Triads send in their hitmen? And how long until the final showdown between Ma and Tony? The film's only 87 minutes - you do the math.
