What is Flash Point about?

Detective Sergeant Ma Jun, known for dispensing his own brand of justice during arrests, teams up with an undercover cop, Wilson, to try and bring down three merciless Vietnamese brothers running a smuggling ring in the months before mainland China’s takeover of Hong Kong. Jun pursues the gang tirelessly, sometimes ignoring police protocols. A showdown is inevitable!

Critics consensus: Yen’s undercover-cop thriller climaxes in one of the great MMA-infused Hong Kong fight finales. The film stars Donnie Yen, Louis Koo, Collin Chou, Ray Lui, Fan Bingbing, and others.
