A watchable firefighter action thriller film
As The Light Goes Out (救火英雄) is another HK firefighter action thriller film after last year’s Out of Inferno (逃出生天).The film is mainly character-driven as it follows a team of firefighters being called upon to stop a small fire at a liquor warehouse. Things were fine at first, until a series of unforeseen events happen that causes the fire starts to spread again to a nearby power plant, threatens to plunge the whole of Hong Kong into darkness during Christmas Eve.

The film shows the brotherhood bond between the leads at first, provide sufficient back stories for mostly all the key characters for the audience to get to know them. It does a good job in balancing the drama and action. The lead and supporting actors provide decent performances in their respective roles as the film progresses. The action sequences in the power plant were quite intense and thrilling enough for the audience to watch. The film also does a good job in showing the real danger behind a fire – the thick smoke, not the flames, that kills. When a person is in a room filled with thick smoke, he/she will be unable to see, breathe or think clearly…constant smoke inhalation can kill a person within minutes.

However, the chaotic shaky camera style is irritating as it makes action scenes quite difficult to follow at times. The CGI smoke and fire doesn’t seem to be realistic or believable enough as you continue watching the film. Furthermore, some plot events are questionable and the film suffers from a few too many convenient contrivances to convince. The eventual sacrifice of a key character at the end of the film is simply not convincing enough to be accepted (he could have just throw the cigarette and run towards the locker room). It’s also quite challenging to identify who is whom when they’re all suited up in their firefighting outfits, helmets and oxygen masks.

The film is said to be dedicated to all the real-life firefighters out there. While it’s not a perfect film, the film certainly delivers what is expected from it. Furthermore, there’s another surprise cameo from another action star in the film as well.

Rating: 7/10

Thrilling and entertaining…
I was given the chance to watch “Gau foh ying hung” (aka “As the Light Goes Out”). I knew it was a Hong Kong movie, that was essentially all I needed to know to be interested in watching it. I didn’t know, however, what the movie was about or who starred in it.

Given the title of the movie, I must admit that I had expected to be in for a horror movie. But it turns out that “As the Light Goes Out” was an action drama about firefighters, for better or worse.

That being said, then I will continue on to saying that “As the Light Goes Out” was actually a surprisingly entertaining and enjoyable movie. And I can’t really claim to find firefighting movies all that impressive. However, there was also an overshadowing element of the movie being cartoonish, at an unfortunate level, given the nature of the mainland Chinese firefighter Ocean (played by Jun Hu). That character was just a bit out of place and he seemed to caricature of a heroic firefighter.

“As the Light Goes Out” does have some nice acting talents on the cast list, which includes the like of Nicholas Tse, Shawn Yue, Simon Yam, Andy On and Bing Bai. And it gets better, there is a hilarious appearance by none other than Jackie Chan himself. When he does make an appearance, I must admit that the movie had turned from realistic to being a bit too much. But then it turns out to be a nice surprise instead and the movie does revert to its normal course of action.

The action sequences in the movie with all the fire and firefighting was actually quite good, and it definitely felt very real and realistic, and that added a great level of enjoyment to the movie. Actually, I will say that director Chi-kin Kwok manages to make the movie very intense and thrilling, because it feels like you are right there alongside the firefighters in the blaze.

But overly this was a watchable, thrilling and entertaining movie for sure. If you enjoy Hong Kong cinema, then “As the Light Goes Out” is definitely well worth taking the time to sit down and watch.
