With brilliant fight scenes has Donnie Yen’s time in the spotlight finally come?… (more…)

Action superstar Jackie Chan plays a heavy-hitting acrobatic cat-burglar, who will take up any challenge, no matter how perilous, to finance his gambling addiction and penchant for high-living. Unexpectedly, his life is turned upside down when he and his two partners-in-crime (Flashpoint’s Louis Koo and veteran Michael Hui) accept a mysterious kidnapping assignment from an eccentric underworld tycoon. When the target turns out to be a cute toddler with a talent for stealing hearts, they are literally left holding the baby!

Mishaps aplenty ensue, and events take an even more dramatic turn when they realize the baby’s life is in danger, and refuse to hand him over. Soon, they’re in the fight of their lives, as they take on specialist police units, mob enforcers and worst of all-dirty nappies!

Loaded with big-laughs and breathtaking fight-sequences, the director of ‘New Police Story’ delivers a stunning action-showcase, which features“some of the very best stunt-work Chan has done in years” (Twitch)

Director Wilson Yip and star/action choreographer Donnie Yen have teamed up for a third time after Dragon Tiger Gate and S.P.L. to present Flashpoint. Billed as a ‘back-to-basics’ return to realism in Hong Kong movies, it features full contact combat and use of the ‘Mixed Martial Arts’ style that Bruce Lee pioneered.

The 2-disc DVD is released in the UK by Showbox/Cine Asia on 31 March 2008.
