“Misjudgement” 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 director Ho Pong Mak (Breakout Brothers trilogy).
According to The Arty Dans: The Prosecutor is about a man who is framed for drug trafficking by a criminal syndicate in order to protect the identity of the real culprit. Yen plays the older version of the character who’s case has been taken on a new prosecutor who risks his career to reveal the truth.
The Prosecutor also stars Kang Yu (Wu Xia, Big Brother) and Julian Cheung (All U Need is Love, The Grandmaster).
There is currently no release date, but we expect an announcement soon. Until then, check out some “first look” photos below (via MAAC), as well as look at what director Ho Pong Mak is capable of in the Trailer for Breakout Brothers:
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…
