What you probably thought couldn't happen
Long time addicts of Hong Kong action flicks have, for too long now, felt like addicts. "Where's the good stuff that got me hooked?" Many have wandered off into the good old chanbara slashers for a fix and if it wasn't for a handful of beautifully made movies out of Korea we'd have nowhere to go except our increasingly perverse seeming and overflowing dvd shelves with hardly a movie not seen 3, 4, 5 times. So maybe someday they'll be erecting a little golden altar to Yip Wai Shun who is saving the genre with a power like that that first infused our then young bloodstreams. If you are so old don't be surprised if ya get teary eyed seeing old Sammo and Donnie (who, it seems, don't get old) mixin' it up like you haven't seen out of China since, well, who's countin', too long. Key here is Shun's respect for the talents and abilities of everyone in the cast. Simon Yam, whose made every kind of movie there is, plays his role, as he often does, like he was born for it. Jackie Wu, whose young talents have shone elsewhere, is here given a role where he can and must cut loose and he leaves no doubt but he's up to it. (Proving again, talent and skill beats wires by several magnitudes.) Seeing "Killzone" one can only hope Hung and Yen's careers have been reborn. It's not that they don't disappoint, it's how they go well beyond anything you're likely to have expected. These two artists are great and this movie provides in your face proof of it. If you see this movie and don't like it you aren't and never will be an action fan so you can safely write off the whole genre. I don't know, go see Charlie's Angels or somethin' cause action fans are going to like this movie lots and lots and over and over again.

Donnie Yen!
OMG, this film is off the chain! Donnie is nothing to play with. The fight scenes are the ultimate! Like straight up kick ass fight scenes. So much action. Some of Donnie's moves are sick. I kept rewinding because I wanted to capture every move. And Donnie's facial expressions match the fierceness of his fighting style. The storyline excellent, actor/actresses excellent and action super!

SPL is a Top Notch Actioner with Two of the Best Fight Sequences in Cinema History
"SPL" (also known as Killzone, which means absolutely nothing) is a very good and bleak cop thriller. Simon Yam and Donnie Yen lead a team of men who are trying to take down Sammo Hung's gangster character. The film depicts each man as both right and wrong in their actions. This is very interesting, and the whole film's theme revolves around how bad or negative actions have consequences. By the end of the film, you will see what I mean. The film only has two to three very small and short fight/shootout scenes leading up to the big finale. It is the last 30 minutes of the film when all hell breaks loose and Donnie Yen shows why he is an action God. I mean, wow. Simon Yam is also of note here for playing his usual calm and collected type of character (he also gets to kick butt in a small shootout scene). Sammo Hung kicks butt as usual as well. Director Wilson Yip is seriously the best director of action scenes around. This film is recommended to people who enjoy HK action, bleak film noirs, and films like Flash Point, Legend of Fist, and Ip Man 1 and 2. Definitely purchase the film, you will NOT regret it!

One of Yen's finest drama/action movies
I loved this movie. One of the best movies I have seen in years. Do not pay attention to a few bitter purchasers who rate this movie low. This is not a martial arts movie. It is a drama/action movie with a dark theme. This movie has great acting. The drama/suspense was tense through out the movie. The action scenes were bloody and realistic for the most part. The fight scene toward the end with Donnie Yen was intense and brutal. I simply loved this movie. Is this movie better than Ip Man? It depends on if you prefer martial arts to drama action. I loved both movies. Killzone had good cinematography and the music was great (I know it may sound stupid but the music was peaceful).This movie is so good, that I will watch again and again; just like Ip Man. Much better than Flashpoint but I will say that Flashpoint had a fight scene similar in intensity and had a babe that is unmatched in charm/cuteness.This movie was worth the purchase for sure.

Hollywood Eat your Heart Out
Kill Zone has everything I wanted but overloaded me on everything else I DIDN'T expect and what a ride it was. It had drama like I've never experienced, action I've NEVER felt so enthralled by and cinematography that was nothing but OUTSTANDING! I got it mostly because it had Donnie Yen in it and I was not disappointed one bit by his amazingly powerful martial artist abilities... the movie itself is beyond words to describe it any further except that you must BUY THIS MOVIE!I'm not one for spoilers but I will tell you that the ending is something you wouldn't ever expect, and it has become a timeless classic in my eyes. Kill Zone all the way-- this is definitely a martial arts film that deserves its marks and has become a legendary item in my collection. This is indeed the Holy Grail of martial arts movies.

Great film with exciting fight scenes
This is a tense police vs gangsters thriller starring Donnie Yen, Simon Yam, Sammo Hun and Jing Wu. It has a good story at its foundation and the fight scenes add to that - none of which are gratuitous/out of place.The 4 actors named above are the stars of the movie and the supporting cast are solid too.Highly recommended if you like this genre.

To have Donnie Yen and Sammo Hung together you’re guaranteed for plenty of action
Some of the best Fight scenes you’ll ever see! To see Donnie Yen and Sammo Hung fight again, you know the fight scenes are going to be excellent, especially when you see Donnie, take on a knife wielding bandit with a batton! Seriously, some of the best fight scenes you’ll ever see, Plus the finale when he fights one on one with Sammo is Spectacular
