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: Great fight scenes can't distract you from terrible acting and a bad, cliche'd story
Comment: It sounded like a great idea at the time: A few good lookin' police officers, one ugly and mean mob boss, lots of fight scenes and great visuals. FUN!!!!! Let's go make this movie!
....not. There's one thing they're forgetting: A good storyline. A few minutes in, I was thinking "OK, did they accidentally place this under the Action genre instead of the Drama section?" But 10 minutes later: Time to switch to Action mode. A few cops in Hong Kong, one with a Tumor and is about to retire, raiding a drug house. Ooh, this is exciting!!!!!
Killzone is a thriller from the director of Flashpoint, which is a Martial Arts action flick that certainly had me on the edge of my seat the entire time. I knew this would have a little more meat in the bun for me since I liked Flashpoint a lot. And this movie did have SOME meat in the bun- a dark, complex action thriller that has good fight scenes and good blood and gore. But on the other hand, this movie just bores me to tears.
Had it not have been for the fight scenes, this would have been a one star review. It is too slow to be an action movie in general, too depressing to be a cop drama, and too over-the-top to be a drama in general. But if you look at it from an extremist's point of view, this might grow on you when watching it. I know I didn't enjoy watching a single minute of it (despite good intentions and good action).

Summary: don't waste your time!
Comment: This is the worst excuse for a martial arts movie ever! Donnie and Sammo really let you down on this one. the plot sucks, the dialogue sucks, and there is very little action until about the last 20 minutes of the movie. I feel dumber for having fallen for the reviews written by the other people on amazon!

Summary: Enjoyed Flash Point More....
Comment: I really did like "Flash Point" more than this movie. The story just seemed really dull and I couldn't really feel for the characters (I tried hard!). The action was decent but also not engaging enough for my taste, especially with the long periods of time between it.
Also, that one reviewer is right. That fat guy does move rather fast for his size.
Don't believe the hype.

Summary: Great Movie
Comment: I really enjoyed this film. I was definitely impressed with Wu Jing as the cool hitman and the end fight with Sammo and Donnie is just great. When are you going to these two heavyweights ever duke it out besides this film so you need to check it out. You should also check out FlashPoint. It's because of these two films and Dragon Dynasty that I have started collecting more HK films. Buy this movie.
