“The Prosecutor” Teaser Poster
After a disappointing turn with Polar Rescue, we’ll soon be seeing martial arts star Donnie Yen (Sakra, Chasing the Dragon) kick some actual ass in Mandarin Motion Pictures and China’s Huace Pictures’ The Prosecutor (aka Misjudgement) an action thriller from filmmaker Ho Pong Mak (Breakout Brothers trilogy), who co-directs along with Yen himself.
The Prosecutor is a poor young man is wrongly charged with drug trafficking after being deceived. An ex-prosecutor investigates the case, uncovers a corrupt lawyer team’s scheme, and restores justice despite obstruction from evil forces.
The Prosecutor also stars Kang Yu (Wu Xia, Big Brother), Julian Cheung (All U Need is Love, The Grandmaster), Francis Ng (Customs Frontline), Kent Cheng (I Did It My Way), Michael Hui (The Private Eyes), Mark Ho-nam Cheng (Guns of Dragon), Ray Lui (Death Notice), Pak Hon Chu (Twilight of the Warriors: Walled In), Adam Pak (Master Z: The Ip Man Legacy), Kong Lau (White Storm 2: Drug Lords) and Elizabeth “Liza” Wang Ming-chun.
Action and fight choreography for the film is handled by Yen, along with Kenji Tanigaki (Enter the Fat Dragon) and Kang Yu (Chasing the Dragon).
The Prosecutor hits U.S. Theaters on January 10th from Well Go USA! Watch the Trailer below:
We’re about feast, friends!
He going back to doing what he does best since his last two movies were flopped. Ipman 4 and Ragging Fire were his biggest hits in China and world wide. Ipman 5 and Flashpoint 2 which the later going to be similar to Ragging Fire are guaranteed hits.
This is interesting to say the least. I remember when Yen said he was done after part 3 because there were too many Ip Man films, then part 4 made everything conclusive and there couldn’t be anything else he could do with the character. I like the idea of him also being the director’s chair for this one.
As for Flash Point 2, I hope he’s got fuel in the tank for that. He ought to have some good opponents for his next films.
Oh no… Donnie… No…

Both Michael Hui and Liza Wang as part of the cast? Donnie’s certainly bringing out the big guns.
i suspect i’ll hate Yen’s character just as much as i hated him in Raging Fire, but the action looks good.
It’s amazing what 60 year old guys are still willing to put themselves through. With all of Donnie’s other projects, I hope he still has fuel in the tank after what looks to be a bombastic ride.
“Funny” to see Michael Hui there… In Hong Kong, he’s in “The last dance”, a drama (kinda like a Chinese Departures maybe) that pulverizes right now the “local” box office (should finish 1, 2 or 3 of all time for a Chinese movie in Hong Kong…I don’t say Hong Kong movie for those done after 1997, specially when a lot of the big budget ones are done thanks to “mainland” producers, like Walled City).
Looks OK. But…too much like Wick & Co, and of course like A bittersweet life and The man from nowhere on the style/photography levels (with zero chance to be half as good as those last two) and of course too much CGI.
These movies begin to really look like each one is a copycat of the previous one.
Well, John Wick was mostly gunplay, jiujitsu and judo. The Prosecutor seems to be prioritizing kung fu and mixing in grappling like SPL and Flash Point did. Whatever CGI there may be is trivial and not the focus of the movie, so I’m not worried about that unless there’s CGI stunt doubles.
This simply looks hyperkinetic and uncomplicated.
