After the success of John Woo’s A Better Tomorrow, lead actor Chow Yun Fat cemented his reputation as Hong Kong’s hottest new action film megastar with his electrifying performance in Ringo Lam’s City on Fire, one of the most beloved examples of the ‘heroic bloodshed’ subgenre.

Ko (Chow) is an undercover cop on one last job, assigned to infiltrate a gang of jewel thieves committing armed robberies across Hong Kong. When another police officer is killed in the line of duty during one of the gang’s heists, Ko finds himself caught in the crossfire between the police force desperate to catch the culprits at any cost, and the trigger-happy thieves who begin to smell a rat in their midst. As the bullets fly and the body count rises, Ko’s only hope for survival might be his burgeoning friendship with weary gang member Fu (Danny Lee)…

A marked influence on Quentin Tarantino’s Reservoir Dogs, Lam’s gritty and dynamic crime thriller has been restored from the original negative and is finally unleashed on home video again in all its lethal fury, looking and sounding more spectacular than ever before.

Was soll das? Ringo Lam ist nicht John Woo? Natürlich nicht. Warum muss immer alles an John Woo gemessen werden? Als wäre er ein Gott. Das ist doch absoluter Blödsinn. Das ist ja wie wenn man sagen würde, Quentin Tarantino ist halt nicht Ridley Scott. Es handelt sich um 2 verschiedene Regisseure, jeder mit seinem eigenen Stil. Es sieht danach aus das du mal wieder zu dieser Kategorie gehörst die von Hong Kong Filmen überhaupt keine Ahnung haben. Merk dir, es gibt nicht nur John Woo und sonst nichts.

Eigentlich ist die Ausgangsidee nicht schlecht, der Film weist jedoch Längen auf (und dies in dieser knappen Spielzeit!), und Ringo Lam ist halt auch nicht John Woo. Die Action (wenn sie mal vorkommt) wirkt recht lahm und die Dramatik (Freundschaft zwischen Cop und Gauner) kommt auch zuwenig zur Geltung.
