“Special ID” would have been a decent action movie, if less effort were made to highlight one of the female characters.

Hong Kong director Clarence Fok’s latest outing stars Chinese martial artist Donnie Yen and actress Jing Tian. Yen plays an undercover police officer working for a local gang leader. He is assigned by both the gang leader and his senior officer to investigate a missing person case. His mission brings him in cooperation with female officer played by Jing Tian. Together the partners have to find o ut the culprit, and why the police and the gang both take an interest in the same case.

Yen may not be as good-looking as Jet Li, but he is always known for unique fighting style blending different schools of martial arts. In the last few years, he mostly appeared in historical martial arts films, while in fact his particular talent is more suited for modern action films. In “Special ID”, Yen’s contribution in action choreography is what makes the viewers stay in their seats.

However, apart from three major scenes that showcase Yen’s skills, the film has little else to offer. Donnie Yen tries very hard to portray a police officer who acts like a gang member. His performance is satisfactory, compared to the female lead.

Actress Jing Tian is relatively new to the movie industry, but each time she appears on the big screen, she is accompanied by mega stars playing supporting roles. This has led many to suspect that someone is secretly squandering tens of millions of RMBs to make her famous, but she has just denied the allegations and attributed everything to her hard work and good fortune. In “Special ID”, Yen has designed some eye-opening action scenes for her, but they don't change the fact that Jing still has a long way to go to improve her acting skills.

To boost character development and Jing Tian’s presence, the director introduces many relationship scenes, which neither of the major characters is particularly good at. So this arrangement only serves as distraction from the main plot, just like the final car chase that looks suspiciously like a prolonged collisiontest and automobile commercial.

Anyway, it is nice to see Donnie Yen returning to modern action films, hopefully he won’t need to baby-sit someone next time. On a scale from one to ten, “Special ID” deserves a five.
