Chan Chi-Lung has been an infiltrator in Cheung Mo-Hung's Hong Kong triad gang for many years. After a failure of a recent negotiation by Lung with the other three local triad gangs on behalf of Hung makes the latter suspicious of Lung's identity. Hung sets to wipe out every undercover cop in his gang and as a result many cops are caught and wiped out. Sensing the danger, Lung requests to put an end to his undercover career from his captain, Cheung. However, Cheung sends Lung to Mainland China to infiltrate a business of "Special Identity" trading instead. The business is run by Hung's best protégé, Sunny, who was Lung's previous buddy in the gang. Cheung promises to reinstate Lung's police identity in conclusion of the mission once Sunny's business breaks down. Lung agrees, and joining him are local police officer Fang Jing and her chief Lei Peng from the Mainland Chinese police force. But before they can get to Sunny, the latter suddenly vanishes leaving Lung exposed and in great danger.
Leave your thoughts about Special ID.
| RogerEbert.comBrian TallericoAnd yet it's impossible to deny that what Special ID does well it does extremely well. |
| Los Angeles TimesMartin TsaiThe lens work by "Crouching Tiger" cinematographer Peter Pau looks super slick; and the film's conformity to trends in regional commercial cinema yields respectable results. But Special ID truly comes alive when it busts out the good ol' fashioned Hong Kong daredevil stunt work. |
| Canada.comJay StoneThey don't match the eye-popping athleticism of The Raid 2. In fact, some of it seems kind of stodgy. |
| Examiner.comChris SawinWith tender moments coming off like they were ripped straight from the Lifetime network, and nearly every action scene featuring enough wire work to look ridiculous, Special ID is a huge step back for the extremely talented Donnie Yen. |
| User ReviewAndrew HWhat's up with the negative reviews? This movie is fun and has great action scenes. Donnie looks to be enjoying himself playing an irresponsible smart-ass, and his fights with Ken Lo and Andy On are great! |
| User ReviewY.K. GWas a good movie. Great action. Ok story. But good twist and turns. |
| User ReviewEric Lyen takes it to a whole new level injecting even MORE mma in his martial arts repertoire!! 20/10 for the action! totally untouchable! yet with the highest expectations, the story, romance, and jing tian's character underwhelm. |
| User ReviewGeorge CAs Donnie Yen carries the crown of action cinema, this little gem lets him relax for a bit as he shakes off the smart, historic hero for a not-so-smart undercover cop that is rubbing up the wrong gangsters. With less flash kung fu and more realistic and brutal martial arts fighting, Special ID fits in perfectly with the action epics that are SPL and Flashpoint and holds its own as a modern day cop thriller. Directed by the eccentric Clarence Fok (Ford), who's signature weirdness and OTT moments shine throughout, you are taken on a rollercoaster of 80's HK nostalgia with some amazing stunts, fights and comedy moments that reminded me of the fantastic Tiger Cage 2, and ITLOD series... Well worth checking out!! |
| User ReviewThanujan BA very good action movie with a good story and great martial arts. The characters are good, the movie is pretty funny, the car chase scene is great, and overall its a very solid Chinese action flick. Not a classic or masterpiece, but its good entertainment. |
| User ReviewPeter BIt was ok. Not the usually outstanding Donnie Yen action flick. |
