Review of Flash Point (2007) by Mark S — 13 Sep 2007
Flash Point is easily the best action film of the year, beating out even Invisible Target (which is the 2nd best!). I just saw it at midnight madness last night at Toronto International Film Festival and Donnie Yen has turned in another action classic! overall, it's not quite as good as SPL but it's better than Dragon Tiger Gate, which are the previous two collaborations between Donnie Yen and director Wilson Yip.
like SPL, Flash Point gives some tastes of things to come, but saves most of its action for the final 30 minutes or so, when Donnie Yen goes after Xing Yu, and finally the end when he has his much anticipated fight with Collin Chou.
honestly this movie is awesome, and it puts any of hollywood's wannabe-action movies to shame. as a final note, this was the only movie out of everything I saw at TIFF which got a standing ovation at the end!!! incredible!~.
