Watched: Flash Point

The concept is simple.
Kick some butts, Donnie.
Kick some butts without that goddamn wig (which probably left in the Dragon Tiger Gate set).

Don't read the synopsis on the homepage if you haven't watch it.
There's so much more material in that synopsis, you will realised that this movie can be better (but less explosive).

In short, Donnie Yen is Ma Jun.
Hard Boil Policeman. Best policeman there is with a small problem, his "hands-on" approach left him a papertrail of complaints.

Flashpoint is obviously not going the same way as Infernal Affairs or any modern Cop/Crook movie. It takes a simple approach with straight forward (2D) characters and add in Good old fashion fist-talking and point at blank, messy gun shootouts.

While it's not going to as hype as SPL with Donnie taking on a respected Senior like Sammo Hung in a final showdown, we got Collin Chou (last seen in the forgetable D.o.A the Movie), as the vicious and cold Tony.

Watch it if you are an action fan and not minding too much about depth.
