What is Flash Point about?
Detective Sergeant Ma Jun, known for dispensing his own brand of justice during arrests, teams up with an undercover cop, Wilson, to try and bring down three merciless Vietnamese brothers running a smuggling ring in the months before mainland China's takeover of Hong Kong. Jun pursues the gang tirelessly, sometimes ignoring police protocols. A showdown is inevitable!

Critic Reviews
Flash Point (2007) Review: A Finale Worth the Wait
★★★½☆
Flash Point is Wilson Yip's lean Hong Kong cop thriller starring Donnie Yen, a thin story redeemed by one of the most ferocious fight finales of its decade.
Yes, with reservations. Action fans should see it for Donnie Yen's brutal, MMA-flavoured fights, as long as they can tolerate a generic crime plot.
