Kill Zone (2005)

AKA SPL. Saat Po Long.

Cops and robbers. Surveillance. A ruthless gang boss and dirty cops. It's that kind of movie. A little glimpse into the grimy underbelly of HK crime, savage and serious all the way, with a few stray moments of bonding that have you sympathizing with both friends and foes as they clash and settle their grievances, oftentimes with lethal consequence.

It's also another Donnie Yen classic - I've seen it at least a couple times before, and another tragic one too. Even more so than the last.

This is the Sammo Hung one. And the Jing Wu one. And once again there's a wife and daughter involved, but this time they just so happen to be on the wrong side of justice...

It's a bit more brutal than Flash Point, a bit more movie-like with the criminal element - or maybe just with a different style.

Jing Wu has a tragic role as usual too... hope it's not like that for him in real life too. Hope it's only the movies he does so well.

Overall this movies just a must-see if you like HK action. The story's on point , but the action choreography's really what you watch these for. Donnie Yen in his prime. There's no time like it.
