Dao huo xian aka Flashpoint

This is a Hong Kong action thriller movie. I don't like to watch the dubbed movies and prefer to watch the movies in their native language and read the subtitles.

This movie doesn't disappoint. However, it is a karate action flick so you can not set your expectations to high. That said you will enjoy car chases, good cop bad cop stuff, and even a light love story.

The movie at times does seem long, but in the end there is a great martial arts choreographed ending that seems quite realistic. Needless to say it is well done. You can pretty much grab some popcorn and not worry about the plot. It is good guys vs bad guys with a Hollywood ending.






Netflix Summary:

Action masters Wilson Yip and Donnie Yen deliver nonstop martial arts thrills in this tale of triad gang warfare in pre-handover Hong Kong. Reckless Detective Ma (Yen) threatens the careful work of his partner, Wilson (Louis Koo), who's finally infiltrated a notorious triad gang. As the operation begins to collapse, Ma enters the fray to go one-on-one against the triad leader (Collin Chou) before he takes over the streets.
