'Raging Fire' (2021) Movie Review
A cop haunted by the past, trying to right previous wrongs. Who’s a bit of a hotshot and plays by his own rules, though still operates by a strict code. With a pregnant wife. Yeah, we’ve seen this set up before. But when that cop is Donnie Yen, and we’re talking about Raging Fire, the final film from the great Benny Chan, the result is a top-tier action banger of epic proportions. This sprawling, Heat-inspired cops-and-robbers opus delivers in all the right ways and rules every ounce as hard as one might hope.

Fantasia 2020: 'A Witness Out Of The Blue' Movie Review
Fung Chih-Chiang’s A Witness Out of the Blue has all the earmarks of a classic Hong Kong crime saga. There’s murder, slick production values, a twisting plot, shades of moral ambiguity, standoffs, shootouts, and a parrot. Wait, what?

'Sky On Fire' Trailer: Ringo Lam Shoots Everyone Then Blows Them Up
Action auteur Ringo Lam has a penchant for movies titled
BLANK on Fire. Though to be fair, there are usually a great
many things on fire and exploding in his films. His resume includes the likes
of City on Fire, School on Fire, and
Prison on Fire (as well as Prison on Fire
2). And he’s back at it with a trailer for Sky on
Fire, which appears to be everything we can hope for.
