Detective Ma's partner had finally infiltrated a notorious gang and Ma enters the fray to go up against the leader before he takes over the streets.
Flash Point is a modern day action thriller so it isn't heavy on the martial arts, but it's there. Detective Ma (Donnie Yen) is a hot tempered badass detective who has no time to waste on bureaucracy. After his partner has his cover blown, the gang makes an attempt to
take him out. This of course enrages detective Ma and now he has even
more of a reason to destroy. His only consolation was that they managed
to get the head gangster, but once they kill his chief and try to blow
up his team, he decides that all bets are off.
One of my personal mottoes in life: "If it stars Donnie Yen, I'm in."
There's only one film of his that let me down, 2010s Return of the Fist. That kinda sucked. Anyway, what I don't get I'd why it took me so long to watch Flash Point. Granted I'm not happy with the drama, but the fight scenes are so well worth it. Watching Donnie Yen play an arrogant dude was a treat and along with the fight scenes at the end and beginning of the film, that helped make things more enjoyable.
Violence? Yes
Explosions? Yes
Nudity? No
