Flash Point

• Action

Driven by a relentless pursuit of justice outside legal boundaries, *Flash Point* delivers a visceral and kinetic Hong Kong action experience centered on Detective Sergeant Ma Jun’s desperate attempt to rescue a child held captive by a brutal Vietnamese crime syndicate. Unlike typical cop thrillers, the film distinguishes itself through its breathtakingly realistic and relentlessly impactful martial arts choreography – specifically incorporating mixed martial arts techniques rarely seen in mainstream action cinema at the time – and a deeply personal stake for Jun as he confronts his own violent tendencies while battling the gang’s merciless brothers. The narrative eschews elaborate plot twists, instead focusing on the escalating tension and physical toll of Jun's unwavering commitment, culminating in a claustrophobic and brutally efficient showdown within a dilapidated warehouse, highlighting the desperation of a city on the brink of transition.
