Special ID
Donnie Yen December: Week 4
Hello, everyone, and welcome once again to the internets movie review column that has never been forced to go undercover in order to bring down the whole operation and send the Big Boss to the slammer, The Gratuitous B-Movie Column, and I am your host Bryan Kristopowitz. In this issue, issue number five hundred and eighty-two, Donnie Yen December concludes (in January!) with the action flick
Special ID, which was released in the United States in mid-March 2014.
Special ID
Special ID, directed by Clarence Fok, stars Donnie Yen as Chan Chi-Lung, a badass Hong Kong cop who is deep undercover in the triad gang led by Cheung Mo-Hung (Collin Chou).After a botched multi-gang meeting makes Hung suspicious of Lung and Lung tells his superior, Captain Cheung (Ronald Cheng), that he’s tired of being an undercover cop, Lung is sent to mainland China to infiltrate and investigate one of Hung’s businesses there, something called a “special identity” business (I’m not entirely sure what that means). Hung’s mainland business is run by Sunny (Andy On), a ruthless thug who has history with Lung (they were best friends back when Lung started his undercover assignment and Lung essentially helped Sunny become a better criminal).
