Kill Zone

TV-style camerawork, unconvincing actors, a stolen and bad screenplay. And tension between the separate characters is non-existent. Add to that too little action, and when there is, it’s kind of bland. The whole thing is accompanied by good, but inappropriately used background music. But despite all of the minuses, it isn’t at all boring. Just terribly average and uninteresting. (24/02/2007)

A classic Hong Kong style film where heroic policemen walk into certain death. Nothing I haven't seen before, but I'm raising the rating for the gritty finale that goes balls to the wall. (20/06/2016)

I admit the action scenes here are unreal, but really a total ride. I've never seen hand-to-hand fights like this before, really awesome. Unfortunately there's not that many of them. All in all, two bigger ones and two smaller ones, if I'm not mistaken. What's the rest of the running time filled with? A totally full-fledged interpretation of the word cliché. If I had to list them all, I'd be writing the review till Saturday (it's Thursday). From the Hamlet-esque beginning to the Hamlet-esque ending, the viewer is crushed with sentiment seen a thousand times, cretinous acting performances, and ridiculous character motivations. Plus, detachment is a dirty word in this film. Too bad, because the action is really worth seeing. (17/02/2011)

An excellent action film that surprisingly doesn't have that much action, but when it does have some, it's worth it. First of all, the ending is absolutely breathtaking and not spoiled by any of the digital effects used here. But really only in the scene where it was almost necessary. It has a good finale and especially the great Donnie Yen and Sammo Hun Kam-Bo. (12/05/2016)
