Flashpoint Reviews
Flash Point is a great action film, a title that highlights the abilities of all its cast and crew, and a must see for all fans of the category.
| Original Score: 7.5/10 | Feb 27, 2022
If you're a fan of Hong Kong police flicks, then you know that at any given moment, it seems like 50 percent of the force is deep undercover in the triads.

I really wanted to see a fun mindless martial arts film. But the story is so familiar that it beoomes boring.
| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Jun 8, 2008
It's all about the extensive climax, a gunfight turned mixed martial arts throwdown.

Insensible.

Those with a taste for bone-crushing martial arts executed with real skill and flair are not likely to find anything better on American screens for some time.

Considerably more importance is placed on the chops and the socks than the story, and yet the action sequences aren't terribly memorable.
| Original Score: 2/5 | Mar 17, 2008
Catch this one in theatres while you have the chance. The breathless, breakneck action of Flash Point can only truly be appreciated 40 feet high.
| Original Score: 3/5 | Mar 15, 2008
There's nothing that I dislike about FLASH POINT, but I do wish it could be even more than it is

Donnie Yen is famous for combining martial arts traditions into his own unique fighting style and Collin Chou, who studied with Sammo Hung, is up to the task of holding his own.
| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Mar 14, 2008
Yen has developed a recent passion for mixed martial arts, and his more traditional punches and flying kicks are supplemented by some close-quarters Muay Thai kicks and even some jujitsu submission holds. Ultimate Fighting Championship fans will be happy.
| Original Score: 3/4 | Mar 14, 2008
Flash Point comes loaded with cliches and immediately starts blasting them in every direction.
| Original Score: 1/4 | Mar 14, 2008
Not even a choice ass-whupping can make up for the plodding familiarity that precedes it.

What we have here, from the chop-socky point of view, isn't a feature film; it's a YouTube video.

Flash Point plays like the last hurrah of a criminal underclass facing the inevitable shrinking of its bottom line.

Finally -- with barely a half-hour left to go, Donnie Yen does his thing.
| Original Score: 3/4 | Mar 13, 2008
Outside of the fights, the film is by the numbers, but it's an okay set of numbers to be guided by.

Nothing more than a dumb action picture with delusions of Johnnie To-dom.

a plot of nail-biting tension

Like the mixed martial arts it showcases, Flash Point espouses the belief that there's nothing quite as entertaining as uninhibited brutality.
| Original Score: 2/4 | Mar 5, 2008
