Raging Fire ( 怒火 )

POSITIVES

  • The movie kicks ass with lots of exciting action set pieces. From the gunplay, standoffs, chase sequences, to the martial arts moves. 

  • Story has a kick ass plot premise on this adversarial conflict that should motivate you to see it through to the end. 

  • Donnie Yen kicks ass because Donnie Yen always kicks ass. He's the protagonist you want him to be. 

  • Nicholas Tse kicks ass playing the antagonist. The whole movie is even more interesting because of his side of the story. 

  • Those kick ass stunt work and action choreography are awesome to watch on screen. Fans of the genre should not skip this movie. 

NEGATIVES

  • Familiar plot tropes, cliches, and conveniences here and there keep it from being a fresh and unique experience. 

  • Those unbelievable illogical moments aren't helping either.  

  • Some might be surprised at how violent things can get in this movie. 

  • There were a couple of triumphantly dramatic scenes that were supposed to be inspiring, but it had an element of ridiculousness that kinda diffused that. 

  • Hey movie! Do you know how heavy a duffle bag full of money is? Very heavy.
