The team that brought you the incredible Ip Man film series featuring Donnie Yen is back in action!
In The Prosecutor, a gripping legal thriller said to be inspired by a real Hong Kong case, martial arts icon Donnie Yen plays a veteran police officer-turned-prosecutor who risks everything to uncover the truth.
When a man falsely confesses to drug trafficking after being framed, Yen’s character becomes convinced of his innocence. Driven by a deep sense of justice, the prosecutor embarks on a personal investigation that threatens his career, his reputation, and even his life.
The film weaves a tense narrative about the cost of standing up for what’s right within a flawed legal system.
To bring this high-stakes story to life, a skilled team of Japanese action choreographers and stunt professionals was brought on board.
Takahito Ouchi, known for his work on blockbuster action films such as Flash Point, served as the action director, working alongside Yen's frequent collaborators, Kenji Tanigaki and Yu Kang. The trio helped craft fight scenes that really deliver raw physicality with the emotional stakes of the film.
One of the standout sequences is a nightclub fight filmed at a private club in Hong Kong's Quarry Bay, featuring 40 to 50 stunt performers with aerial drones capturing dynamic shots, enhancing the action while preserving its realistic intensity.
All real action, no post-production CGI.
In other words, a thrilling, unflinching display of martial arts not to be forgotten.
The Prosecutor stars Donnie Yen in the lead role, but his involvement goes beyond acting—Yen also serves as the film’s director and co-producer. His passion for action-driven storytelling shines through both in front of and behind the camera.
Raymond Wong, a veteran producer, also backs the project. With this powerful collaboration, The Prosecutor promises to deliver not only a gripping legal drama but also a film with cutting-edge action that will keep audiences on the edge of their seats.
The Prosecutor releases in North American theaters on January 10, 2025, through Well Go USA.
