Yen has developed a recent passion for mixed martial arts, and his more traditional punches and flying kicks are supplemented by some close-quarters Muay Thai kicks and even some jujitsu submission holds. Ultimate Fighting Championship fans will be happy.

Flash Point comes loaded with cliches and immediately starts blasting them in every direction.

Rotten
Not even a choice ass-whupping can make up for the plodding familiarity that precedes it.

Flash Point plays like the last hurrah of a criminal underclass facing the inevitable shrinking of its bottom line.
