This is the sixth film in the Stuttgart Fantasy Film Festival.
"Raging Fire" is a fast paced police thriller. Cheung Bong and Yau Ngo were
colleagues and close friends in the Hong Kong police force. After the kidnap
of a bank owner, Ngo and four other policemen beat up a suspect to make him
tell them where the bank owner is being held. Bong arrives just in time to see
them beating the suspect to death. Bong testifies against them in court, and they go to
jail for five years. When they come out the five police officers become
criminals.
The action is breath-taking as the film rushes from one action scene to the
next. There are big shoot-outs in the streets of Hong Kong. There isn't as
much martial arts action as I would expect in a film with Donnie Yen, but
that's only a slight criticism. Highly recommended.
