If you are a fan of action and crime films, that too of Hong Kong and Chinese origin, you would surely love “Raging Fire” which was released on 30th July 2021. It is the last directorial effort of Benny Chan, who took his last breaths on 23rd August 2020 fighting cancer. The film stars Donnie Yen and Nicholas Tse as the main protagonist and antagonists, respectively.
Today’s world is mostly ruled by greed, but even then, there are people who live their life by ethics and pass down the same to their future generations. Some people believe in not doing hard work and cutting the time of success by taking shortcuts. Sometimes they get lucky and climb to the top, but when it miserably fails, that’s when you can only think of vengeance. You become one of the corrupted and greedy individuals. This is the story of Cheung Song-Pong and Yau Kong- ngo.

Our Opinion
If you want a final opinion on whether or not you should watch the film. We feel like it is a great one-time watch. Both Donnie Yen and Nicholas have played their parts gracefully. The movie lacks action, it is much more about courtrooms and bureaucracy. But there are short action clips that are filled with huge kinetic power. We wouldn’t watch the movie over and over again, but it’s certainly a movie that should be watched at least once.
So, you see, shortcuts are not the way to climb the ladder of success; you have to actually work hard for it. Or you will end up in a bad place even though you didn’t mean any of that. The only mistake that you made was taking a shortcut.
But coming to the point if you love crime movies or series like Memories of murder, Your Honour Season, Out of Death and Midnight in the Switchgrass, then you should definitely watch it.
