Raging Fire Reviews
Muscular, satisfyingly old-school action.
| Original Score: 4/5 | Nov 11, 2021
Has all the genre pleasures of an old school bad cop v good cop flick.
| Original Score: 3/5 | Nov 8, 2021
The barrelling energy of the numerous thrilling action sequences, including a superb climactic fight in a church, will likely compensate for the occasional moments of flagging pace.

The familiar story of an honest cop colliding with a former colleague-turned criminal is raised several notches above the ordinary by intricate plot details, a high quota of outstanding set-pieces and excellent performances...

They are chess pieces, pawns really, and as skillfully as Chan moves them around the board, that still only makes them cannon fodder, existing solely to be maliciously sacrificed and nothing more.

Raging Fire reminds us that a little bit of real-world chaos can still go a long way. If you can sit through the occasional sermon about the role of police in modern society, you'll find yourself in the lap of true action greatness.

Raging Fire is an accomplished visual feat with detailed fight choreography and strong physical performances. But it's definitely for those more swayed by guns than gags, and by action than character.

"Raging Fire" isn't out to redefine the genre, but it serves up satisfying and energetic escapism along with a sad reminder of all the stunning action scenes that Chan delivered over the years.

Aided by the star magnetism of Yen and Tse and back in his element on the colorful streets of Hong Kong, Chan goes out with both guns blazing.
| Original Score: 3/4 | Aug 10, 2021
(Director) Chan doesn't reach the dizzying heights of the best of (John) Woo or Gareth Evans, who made "The Raid" films, but there are moments that echo their ingenuity and sense of propulsion.
