A briskly paced blending of elements from Cool Hand Luke, Nikita and The Wild Geese (!), Chan plays it straight as one of four friends who are unjustly convicted and imprisoned in a notoriously brutal institution where they are selected to be "reborn" as expendable state assassins. With the accent on the battle of wills between the cons and their captors rather than on combat, Island Of Fire is an engaging addition to the HK catalogue.
