Winner for best action choreography at last year’s Golden Horse Awards in Taiwan, this over-the-top, wildly entertaining thriller stars action superstars Tony Jaa (out of retirement after a stint as a Buddhist monk!) and Zhang Jin in a breakneck series of inventive, astonishingly choreographed, bone-crunching set pieces. Directed by Pou-soi Cheang, a longtime collaborator of Johnnie To, this giddy follow-up (not sequel) to the modern martial arts epic Kill Zone is a frenetic symphony of dirty cops, prison riots, and black-market organ transplants, providing an increasingly rare jolt of pure Hong Kong action cinema, an old-school cops-and-robbers chase movie with a twenty-first-century polish.
