Yes, it has a very slow build up. It takes it's time setting everything in the right place, but once we hit the last 30 minutes, LOOK OUT because this becomes a mega bad-ass throw down.

I kept flashing back to Arnold's COMMANDO while watching this. It had that same feel and vibe of a great 80s action flick. One man on a mission. But hell once the fighting begins this makes COMMANDO look silly.

Once again I bow at Donnie Yen's feet and holler "I'm not WORTHY !!!"

Just bad-ass GOODNESS to the core.

Thank you Sir, MAY I HAVE ANOTHER !!!

I am a Donnie Yen junkie now !!

4★s because Flash Point provides one of the most entertaining hand to hand fight scenes in martial arts cinema.
It totally makes you forget the rather weak story :D

Not as much hand to hand combat as i expected. There were a few great fight scenes but it focused a lot on guns. Not what i like to see from Donnie Yen.

Laughably bad. The final fight scenes were pretty decent, but most of the film was just over-the-top. Cliched and messy storytelling. Really exposes Donnie Yen's limitations as a dramatic actor.

Not Donnie Yen's best outing, but still a lot of fun, and hot damn does Donnie batter the crap out of all comers in this.

Even as a huge Donnie Yen fan, I won't lie to you and say that this is a good 'film' in the traditional sense. However, I have watched it at least three times now. Why? Because it features some of the best and most hard-hitting fight scenes of the best 12 years. The action choreography is absolutely brutal, incorporating MMA-style takedowns with traditional Chinese martial arts. Donnie Yen vs. Collin Chou is a fight for the ages.

Longest freaking final battle.

Martial arts performer Donnie Yen Ji-Dan and director Wilson Yip Wai-Shun team up to present a bone-jarring cinematic experience. Blows to the bodies and heads of the participants resonate aurally and visually in a protracted film editing experiment that will cause you to winch and duck your head. This film was chosen for inclusion in the 2008 Film Comment Selects program that unspools at New York’s Lincoln Center for the Performing Arts. It was nice to see Teresa Ha Ping and Helena Law Lan in interesting supporting roles in such a macho environment. This movie was great to see on the big screen.

A silly, boring movie until it explodes into beautiful violence for the final act.

I used to think I could probably take Donnie Yen in a one-on-one fight, but he obviously stepped up his MMA game in recent years (not to mention his wing chun). After FLASHPOINT, he's no abstract theoretical opponent for me; rather, he's an inspirational competitor at the gym & on the mat, motivating me to build endurance & perfect my armbar technique.

standard hong kong cop undercover story enlivened by some great ouch inducing action sequences, the final fight surely must go alongside the They Live fight scene as one of the longest
