Movie Reviews of Kill Zone
Movie Review: This is the best Hong Kong movie since Fist of Legend and Drunken Master 2!
Summary: 5 Stars
SPL is probably the best Hong Kong film I saw in the last 10 years.
Plot: I thought the plot was very nice. It was tightly crafted, for the most part, just enough character development without holding up the film. I like how the plot slowly ease in the action sequences. This is essentially a story first film, rather than a story complimenting martial arts like in Tom Yum Goong. If there is a flaw in the plot, it has to be the fact that Sammo Hung got too little screen time. I mean, they could have done more to show his operations and his methods and more of his brother henchmens. I thought there could be more story to his character.
Acting:
Donnie Yen: This is probably his best acting work to date. At least I get a sense that he is acting in every scene and not just when the camera focus on him. I plays the rookie cop pretty well. If there is a weakness, I will say that he did not show enough intensity. Especially at the end of the movie leading up to the final fight scenes. There should be a burning intense look in him. But I didn't get that.
Simon Yam: As usual, this guy plays the same character in almost every cop film. But as usual, he is pretty good as that character. He show his toughness and vulnerability pretty well. A little more emotions could help though. Nothing to complain about anycase.
Sammo Hung: In terms of physicality, I couldn't imagine a better fit than Hung to play a triad leader. He has the looks, the charisma, and the skills to play it right. I felt like Hung was the weakest of the three though. I felt like he didn't have the voice. It didn't have the leadership quality to it. As for acting, he got too little screen time and he was too subtle at times. He is at his best however when he is playing his character up to his arrogance. Such as smoking a cigar or banging the bottle on the railing of the steps and such. He had the presence.
Wu Jing: Ok, his character was awesome in this movie. His fighting ability was vastly superior than in any of his previous works. But I still don't see much leading man material in this guy. His face is not that hero type face. He doesn't have Jet Li's boyish handsome looks or Donnie's cocky, yet mature style. It is hard to judge his acting because he got wayyyy little screen time. But character wise, he was awesome. Perhaps the movie memorable in the entire film.
Fight scenes
First of all, this is the best hong kong choreography I seen for a while now. I thought everyone did at least a good job on the fights. And best of all, very little wirework. I don't see how people say Donnie Yen didn't take the fight sequences seriously. I mean, it was serious. And Violent. And satisfying. If I have a complain, I have to say the director sometimes move the camera in the wrong spots. Especially during quick action scenes with a lot of striking moves. The camera wasn't still or far enough. Not that it matters too much.
Donnie Yen vs. Wu Jing: Great fight sequence. Wu Jing absolutely stole the show early on killing cops left and right. I like how there is a lot of stoppage and dodging between Yen And Wu. It makes the fight so much more realistic. There is nothing super special about this fight, but the quality never drops. Plus the emotion and coolness factors in.
Donnie Yen vs. Sammo Hung: My favorite fight scene is the end fight between Yen and Hung. I mean, how good was that? While the striking choreography wasn't that great, it totally makes up for it with terrific grappling and ground fighting. Brutal, realistic, and different. Very nice job.
Overall: A dark gritty action crime flick with great martial art sequences and a tightly woven story. Highly recommanded.
