Critic Reviews
The Prosecutor (2024) Review: Courtroom Drama With Fists
★★★½☆
The Prosecutor is Donnie Yen's Hong Kong legal thriller about a wrongful drug charge, an odd but entertaining mix of courtroom drama and bone-crunching action.
Yes, with reservations. Donnie Yen fans will enjoy its well-staged fights and crowd-pleasing justice story, but the legal drama is heavy-handed and the tone uneven.
