导火线

A even more typical hk police movie than invisible target. Weak story and loopholed. Fighting scenes were the only highlights but think of it, that was why we watched it. Louis Koo as Wilson was a mole in Archer's gang and Donnie Yen as Jun was trying hard to nab him.

Jun "as usual" as a hot headed policeman who beats up bad people till stacks of complaints piled up against him.

Archers and his 2 brothers, Tony and Tiger were too arrogant, that made the other bosses became witnesses in the court.

But they were killed one by one tony and tiger with ease, the story just plain lazy to depict more details even when they are protected witnesses.


The main element was to watch donnie yen fighting capabilities, shown last in SPL. His quick moves, great choreography, containing his opponent and death-defying moves.

Wilson was discovered. Was knocked down by Tony, fell down a hill slope but somehow buay si. He survived and also is the last witness. So Tony captured his gf, 范冰冰 as Judy .... then they final showdown.

One funny thing was most of them are given english names but was called with the direct translation, not sure why the rationale. It sounds weird and awkard. 6/10.
