Via the boys over at Donnie Yen’s US site (link), here is your look at Donnie Yen’s upcoming “Flash Point”, another hard-hitting action/crime film in the style of “Sha Po Lang” (or better known by its International title of “Killzone”). The film stars Donnie Yen as a cop determined to put a trio of Triad brothers out of business; to achieve this end, he sends in a mole (Louis Koo), but that’s when the fun really starts. If you head over to the movie’s official site here, you’ll get a synopsis that, if I’m not mistaken, reveals about 90% of the movie’s plot (or thereabouts). Basically, everything up until, “This guy dies, that guy dies, and this guy lives” part.
An agent battles against three brothers of a powerful Vietnamese gang.
“Flash Point” stars Donnie Yen, Louis Koo, Collin Chou, and Bingbing Fan, and is directed by Wilson Yip (“Dragon Tiger Gate”), a man who knows when to direct and when to hand the reins over to Yen.
The film is scheduled for a July 2007 release in Hong Kong. No word on an International release, although Variety reports that “Flash Point” has been sold to Distant Horizon for North American distribution.
Here’s a violent fistfight-a-second trailer for the movie:
