    Paradox is Aptly Named, Cuz this can be a Hard Pill to Swallow

    The opening fifteen minutes of Paradox's narrative is incredibly jarring and sets the stage for a film prioritizing visuals and action over story. Lee Chung Chi (Louis Koo) is having a birthday with his eight-year-old daughter, Wing; suddenly she's a teenager with a boyfriend; no he's her fiancé; no the father of her unborn child. Then Wing is in Thailand. Then she is kidnapped. Then we meet another man dining with his family. Then we're watching two politicians. And then; and then; and then. It all goes at breakneck speed, so much so I got whiplash.

    The film does eventually slow down and returns to some of its opening sequences later by using a non-linear narrative structure. Chung (Koo) is a type of super cop in Hong Kong, whose daughter Wing (Hanna Chan), in typical teenager fashion, fueds with her father. She travels to Thailand to spend a holiday with her friend, Jenny (Iris Lam), but after disappearing for three days, Chung is notified.

    Rushing to Thailand, Chung meets Kit (Yue Wu), a dedicated police officer, who accepts the case, alongside his partner Tak (Tony Jaa), who exhibits psychic abilities, and foresees this case will end violently. Kit's attempts to juggle the case, his wife, Soei's (Siraphan Wattanajinda) pregnancy, and pressure from his boss / father in law, Commisioner Cai (Vithaya Pansringarm) to wrap things up as quickly as can be, causes Chung to feel the investigation is not going fast enough.

    When local cop Ban (Ken Low) seemingly knows more about the case then he's letting on, Chung is forced to take matters into his own hands, and assists the help of Siu Man (Jackie Cai), a prostitute, who can help him navigate the criminal underworld.

    His investigation leads him to a human organ trafficking ring, led by the malicious Sacha (Chris Collins), but when Chung learns the corruption goes all the way to the top, with key political figures like Ka-Tung Lam (Gordon Lam) involved, he realises the fight to retrieve his missing child, will be so much harder than he ever imagined.

    So many of the character's, like Siu Man, are there in service of the plot, with no discernible character ark. Other characters appear to say or do one thing, then disappear forever. This sacrifice is done to keep the narrative moving forward, and though the story is held together with little more than tissue paper, it is succesful in establishing an often brutal plot.

    At other intervals, the film leans into melodrama, and though this can, at times, feel unnecessary, while making the otherwise raw seriousness of the story feel unintentionally like a comedy of errors, it likewise increases that sense of hopelessness.

    The film touches on themes of corruption, the difficulties of being good in a harsh world, class victimisation, and a father's limitless rage, though so often this is mere window dressing, with the film having hardly anything substantial to say about any issue.

    But, so many viewers are here for the action, right? What is *that* like? Fight sequences are directed by renowned martial artist Sammo Hung, his veteran experience bringing a strong sense of fluidity to the action. It's sort of like a dance, with characters moving like water, Tony Jaa especially executing some fantastic moves. That said, there is no major stand out sequence, and though fights become more visceral over time, viewers may be surprised by how few martial arts scenes there are.

    There is also some obvious wire-work - example, could a person really execute a 180-degree spin in mid-air while falling? Fundamentally, the sequences never truly reach the highs of Flashpoint, or the likes of Ip Man 2.

    Paradox clearly exhibits flashes of brilliance, but some of this feels bogged down. In the end, the film is appropriately named, as it seems unsure what it wants to be; an emotional thriller, or an action film, and this disconnect does more to hamper the film, than help it.

    Excellent Chinese action flick with a great story and amazing choreographed fight scenes

    This film had all the elements of a Hollywood production. The story was told well, had a lot of heart, with lots of twists and turns. The score could have been better and I would have loved to see more of Tony Jaa, but nevertheless, the directing and cinematography where on point and all the leads played their roles great. The action was not overwhelming and just right for the story being told. The pace and length of the film were perfect and the subtitles on screen at the right speed/length. Very enjoyable and a recommended viewing from me. A well deserved 9/10!

    Worthy entry of the series

    Directed by Wilson Yip the man behind Ip Man and action choreographed by the legendary Sammo Hung you will know this movie gonna be good.Kill Zone:Paradox almost like a recreation of the last movie with the same actors but with different background and motivation.Louis Koo now as the new main character team up with Yue Wu to rescue his daughter and busting a illegal organ trafficking in Thailand.Tony Jaa for some reason starring in this movie too but his role is small and i guess the movie need his imagine to draw viewers but the action scene with him is quite nice so i'm not complaining.Apart from the top notch action as usual the movie is very depressing with one of the best performance by Louis Koo this year.The pacing is better and more easy to follow than Kill Zone 2 so fan of the series will have a blast while watching this movie

    The other Taken

    Another SPL, even if the english title does not suggest it. Now you may not be too involved when it comes to the story, but the action of the movie is amazing. There are quite some amazing stunts this can boost. It may be mostly predictable with at least one thing/twist most will not expect at all, which is able to break the movie or rather your perception of it - so there is that.

    Tony Jaa may be referred as Guest appearance or something along those lines, but he has quite an extended role in the movie. And quite a few stunts to go with that screen time. If you like action movies and don't mind certain flaws the genre generally brings with it, you'll be thoroughly entertained

    Better than expected

    Movie about a Hong Kong cop who tries to find his by an organ trafficking gang kidnapped daughter in Thailand. The father had to fight not only against the gang but also against the corrupt government in Pattaya (Thailand). Government and gang work together.

    There are many good exaggerated action scenes - this is an action thriller from Hong Kong!

    The actors especially the father perform fine. Cinematography is very well also.

    Although there's a lot of action the basic mood is hard boiled, dark and sad. Don't expect a happy ending!
