| San Francisco ChroniclePeter HartlaubAn enjoyable way to start the Oscar season. |
| Combustible CelluloidJeffrey M. AndersonFinally -- with barely a half-hour left to go, Donnie Yen does his thing. |
| Filmcritic.comDon WillmottIf you're a fan of Hong Kong police flicks, then you know that at any given moment, it seems like 50 percent of the force is deep undercover in the triads. |

| TheDivaReview.comDiva VelezCatch this one in theatres while you have the chance. The breathless, breakneck action of Flash Point can only truly be appreciated 40 feet high. |
| New TimesLuke Y. ThompsonThere's nothing that I dislike about FLASH POINT, but I do wish it could be even more than it is |
