In this good cop versue bad gangster action thriller, Dectective Chan (Simon Yam) relentlessly pursues the vidious crime boss Po (Sammo Hung) but eventually gives up in frustration and looks toward retirement. His replacement, Ma (Donnie Yen) is a principled committed cop who is skilled in martial arts and has a reputation for violence. The death of a cop who was planted undercover in Po's gang causes further unbalance between the sides as the cops seek justice for the loss of their brother

Summary: Battle of the masters
Comment: "Kill Zone" or "SPL" as it was called in China, is an action packed police drama starring the inimitable Donnie Yen, the tough guy extraordinaire Simon Yam, and of course the legendary Sammo Hung. It also stars, as a knife wielding henchman/hitman, the amazing Wu Jing, or Jacky Wu, whose career never really took off outside of mainland China, but whose incredible martial and acrobatic skill is almost unrivalled in cinema today.
The story of cops v. robbers is not exactly new. They've made it very modern with moles, plot twists, questions of loaylty, and questions about the main characters character, but in essence it is more or less 'only' what you'd expect from a modern police film. The action is top class, as you'd expect with names like these on the poster. Especially the fights between Yen and Wu, which was actually more or less improvised as they went along, and between Yen and Hung, the final fight, are worthy of notice. Here must be given praise to Donnie Yen for his ability to renew himself and stay modern in his choreography. His use of different styles of fighting, adding different feels to the scenes, is truely unique. Many choreographers try and fail, but Yen does it really well.
The feel of the entire film, the darkness, the gloom, the threat of impending violence is well acted out and well directed. Although this being a action film, it is still very much character driven. Not your run of the mill 'Hong Kong Film'. I use the term HK Film only reluctantly, because it usually connotates something second rate and unworthy, which films from Hong Kong seldomly are.
Highly recommendable.

Summary: Kill Zone
Comment: Sammo Hung is the only reason why I gave the movie two stars. The movie tries to be deep, but it is just boring. Some fight scenes are OK. Overall a waste of time. Again, like in The Protector, it is nice to have the fast forward feature on the remote. Otherwise I could not get to the end.

Comment: It's a pity Hollywood doesn't make action movies like this.
The fight sequences are great, good realistic action. A nice mixture of Kung Fu and MMA styles. Donnie Yen is the man.

Summary: Donnie Yen
Comment: This has to be one of the best contemporary martial arts movies, both in terms of the story line and the fight sequences. The realism shown in the film might put some people off, but for those who are getting a little tired of seeing people leap tall buildings with a single bound and fight fifty people at one time (and win!), it is a refreshing look at what it is possible to do with a well trained human body and a partner who is also highly skilled. The fight sequences are directed by Donnie Yen and show clearly his knowledge of what he is doing. I would highly recommend this film for anyony with even a passing interest in the martial arts.

Summary: Exciting high kicking flick!
Comment: No need to talk about this movie much, methinks. It's ACTIONZ!
Battle after battle, Donnie vs Wu-Jing, Donnie vs that Sammo! w00t!!!
And yet, this US version has huge scale of extras.
I own Hong Kong, Japan, China version of DVDs of this flick.
Kenji Tanigaki, who has been Donnie's most reliable person had handed a mountain of BTS video.
So you can enjoy how this awesome flick had been made.
Peoples who own not US version should buy this one for its' extras. It's worth for this price.
BTW, so why I'd rate only 4 stars?
Answer is simple. I couldn't understand why Ma Kuwan(Donnie) decided to help Simon Yam's cop team. :P
