If you can sit through the occasional sermon about the role of police in modern society, you’ll find yourself in the lap of true action greatness.
Aided by the star magnetism of Yen and Tse, and back in his element on the colorful streets of Hong Kong, Chan goes out with both guns blazing.

I saw a scene from this movie on "best fight scenes of 2021 compilation" on youtube. Was impressed and decided to watch the full film, but didn't expect much. Turned out to be the best action movie I've seen for quite some time! If you like films like Police Story, or the Raid - Raging Fire is "must watch"!

Donnie Yen probably made this movie as an excuse to smash things up lol
What a fun movie this was. This is your typical signature Donnie Yen movie, with unapologetic hardcore brawls, together with an all star cast and a barrage of renowned Hong Kong actors, new and of the past, having cameo appearances. This movie is like a revisit of old school Hong Kong movies what we all came to love, combined with some Hollywood influences, with fast paced action and dialogues and a story line that goes all over the place lol, in a good way. Also the theme that there is no absolute good nor absolute evil in the police force is a reoccurring theme, that even applies in actual real life of late. I give it a 10 because it didn't took itself all too serious and some scenes were even comedic, paired up with some awesome action sequences, so you can't really go wrong with this.

It’s a throwback to the exhilarating, ferocious Hong Kong action filmmaking of yore, capping off a muscular actioner that marries old-school bravado with contemporary technique.
Despite a few moments of heightened bliss that remind us what kind of talent it has in front of the camera (and the operatic possibilities of Hong Kong action), Raging Fire’s dull discussion of policing never lights a fire.
I really enjoyed this film. Its got a good mix of character development and action, with some really quite impressive explosions and other slick action based special effects. The plot has some twists and its pretty gripping stuff. If your looking for a slick Asian action film, this may well be it. I'd definitely recommend it, yes.

Raging Fire is amazing from start to finish! The film’s story is not necessarily original, but was very clear and light. Conflict of morals, drama, action, fighting scenes. The editing was choppy in parts but those are small negatives! Overall this is a classic! Donnie Yen convinces as righteous cop who never seeks for the easy but rather the right way out of trouble. But Nicolas Tse as a villian was awesome. His backstory was well written and it shows the motives behind his actions. I even have a sympathy feeling for what was happened to him and his team. Honestly it felt good to see a HK action film like this.

Director Benny Chan's last outing due to unfortunately passing away, is a fun martial art flick.
Raging Fire has amazing and stylish fight choreograph that are exhilarating. Additionally, a great performance from both Donnie Yen and Nicholas Tse with the intense rivalry of their characters. However, the story and characterization is very bland

A wannabe Michael Mann, but the Honk Kong action movie has become predictable, repetitive, barters the characteral thickness with the kinetics of bodies and objects, the psychological duels with physical ones, and some directorial choices, score, car chases, slow motion scenes, are dated.
