FLASH POINT (2007, Wilson Yip) 52
Hot Fuzz was just making fun of this kind of movie earlier this year, except clearly here when shit gets real it does so in beautifully brutal martial arts. Over-stylized and hyper-kinetic to disguise how little happens for the first hour and then the film finds its purpose with a climactic eight-minute fight scene that is fairly spectacular. A film for the DVD age because there is no reason to watch the entire running time but you might want to look at the final fight again, especially while among friends.
