Review of Special ID (2013) by George C — 19 Dec 2013
As Donnie Yen carries the crown of action cinema, this little gem lets him relax for a bit as he shakes off the smart, historic hero for a not-so-smart undercover cop that is rubbing up the wrong gangsters.
With less flash kung fu and more realistic and brutal martial arts fighting, Special ID fits in perfectly with the action epics that are SPL and Flashpoint and holds its own as a modern day cop thriller.
Directed by the eccentric Clarence Fok (Ford), who's signature weirdness and OTT moments shine throughout, you are taken on a rollercoaster of 80's HK nostalgia with some amazing stunts, fights and comedy moments that reminded me of the fantastic Tiger Cage 2, and ITLOD series.
.. Well worth checking out!!
