_J_'s Journal: TIFF07.08 - Flash Point

Dao Huo Xian

Wow!

This is an action movie. It doesn't spend a lot of time pretending to be something else. It has a story that is simple and solid and that we've seen before. Doesn't matter. The reason to watch this movie is the martial arts. Donnie Yen is brilliant.

There is only one scene where they use wires to suspend one of the action actors. That scene is not directly related to martial arts. Everything else they do is actually done. If you liked SPL then you will like this.

Overall rating 8/10.

In attendance: Wilson Yip.
