It's not a particularly deep movie, but Wilson Yip and Donnie Yen's FLASH POINT contains some of the most jaw-dropping action ever put on film. Yen basically puts every fighting style known to man into a blender, whips it up into a frothy energy drink and then pours about a gallon of it down his throat. He's like some kind of angry, possessed, hyperactive chihuahua and the last half hour of this movie is just a terrifying catalogue of all the ways a human being can pound you into submission with their elbows, knees, fists, feet and thighs.

And now FLASH POINT is getting a theatrical release on March 14. From what I've heard this will be a ten print release, hitting screens in New York, Los Angeles and San Francisco. It'll be the first theatrical release of one of the Dragon Dynasty titles (THE PROTECTOR came out on DVD under Dragon Dynasty but was a Weinstein Company release theatrically, I believe), although there seems to be another label, Third Rail Releasing, that will be handling FLASH POINT.

FLASH POINT: it's like a big, cheesy plate of nachos punching you in the face.
