The Prosecutor

8/10

His best directing!

The Prosecutor, directed by the talented Donnie Yen, is an intense Hong Kong action thriller based on a true story from 2016. It follows Ma Ka-kit (Mason Fung), a young guy who gets wrongfully accused of drug smuggling after he rents out his address for some extra cash.

The cast is fantastic, with Donnie Yen taking the lead as Fok Chi-ho, a former narcotics detective who becomes a public prosecutor. Fok's relentless pursuit of justice for Ma is both motivating and gripping as he navigates the tricky waters of the Department of Justice, guided by his mentor Bao Ding (Kent Cheng) and chief prosecutor Yeung Dit-lap (Francis Ng).

Edmond Wong's brilliant screenplay, paired with Donnie Yen's direction and production, creates a suspenseful vibe that keeps you on the edge of your seat. The film dives into the corruption within the legal system and the struggle for justice, making it both thought-provoking and emotionally impactful.

The supporting cast, featuring Shirley Chan as defense attorney Li Sze-man and Julian Cheung as legal executive Au Pak-man, brings depth to the narrative, ensuring every character feels essential to the story.

The Prosecutor is a must-see for anyone who loves action thrillers and legal dramas. With its engaging plot, outstanding performances, and expert direction, this film showcases the strength of perseverance and the vital need to fight for justice against all odds.
