Killzone a.k.a. SPL

Director; Yip Wai Shun
Starring; Sammo Hung, Donnie Yen, Simon Yam
Genre; Action/ Martial Arts/ Thriller
Year; 2005
Release; US Dragon Dynasty

Typically stylish, modern cop thriller from HK. Last minute changes added the martial arts scenes, after Donnie Yen was signed up. TBH, they could have left them out, it would be a cool cop thriller. Instead, you have a cool cop thriller, with kung fu. Sammo can still move, despite being in his mid fifties, although he looks menacing in this, a very rare bad guy role. Yam shows his class, as ever. All in, a worthy way to while away some time.
