The Prosecutor (2024)

Police? Lawyer? Why Not Have Both?

Thats it, both. An ex police officer turned lawyer is one of the most unexpected movie to end this year. I must say, I was quite entertained throughout the whole movie runtime. Witty dialogues, still remember that razor word battle scene between Donnie and Julian's character.

Speaking of Julian Cheung, seeing him taking a different character is straight up awesome. Him cursing, him swearing, awww yeaa! Beautiful. Francis Ng in this movie is like that middle man, neither good or evil.

Donnie Yen did as what Donnie Yen do, but better. I see him as a much better actor this one here. That opening scene, from him, is like wowwww...am I leaving in a gaming world?. Niceeee. Overall, he is entertaining to watch especially with his two sidekicks (one lawyer, and another police officer) Thats fresh to me.

Oh, by the way, have I touched about the crowd reaction? Wasnt expecting people to laugh so much in a serious emotional movie. Well, thats what it is. People laugh at serious jokes haha. Credits to the director Raymond Wong, I guess..

One last thing I was worry, is that if this movie will stick/follow/or have any sort of similarities to A Guilty Conscience. For me, safe to say, No. If you do...I may understand why.
