Flash Point is a 2007 Hong Kong action film directed by Wilson Yip and starring Donnie Yen as Detective Sergeant Ma Jun, a hot-headed and determined cop whose personal mission to take down a group of Vietnamese gangsters puts him at odds with his fellow officers and the criminal underworld alike.
The film starts with Ma Jun and his team investigating a pawnshop robbery where one of the robbers is killed. Ma Jun's relentless pursuit of the perpetrators leads him to the Phung brothers, a trio of ruthless Vietnamese smugglers who are using Hong Kong as a hub for their illegal activities. Jun and his partner Wilson (Louis Koo), an undercover cop who has infiltrated the gang, team up to take down the Phung brothers and their network of associates.
As the investigation deepens, Jun becomes increasingly frustrated with the bureaucratic red tape of the police department and takes matters into his own hands, resorting to extreme violence and unconventional tactics to get the job done. He has personal reasons for his vendetta against the Phung brothers, which are later revealed as the plot unfolds.
The film features intense action sequences and brutal fight scenes choreographed by martial arts legend Donnie Yen himself. The climax of the movie sees Jun taking on all three Phung brothers in a high-stakes showdown that will determine the fate of the smugglers and the future of Hong Kong.
Overall, Flash Point is a gritty and intense crime thriller that showcases Donnie Yen's martial arts skills and acting prowess, as well as the dynamics of law enforcement in Hong Kong before the handover to China in 1997.
