Loosely based on a true story, the movie follows a former police officer who trades in his badge to start a new career as a prosecutor. But the justice-driven lawyer quickly winds up at odds with his new boss and co-workers when he believes the person they are prosecuting is innocent.<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">While it may not fully deliver on the thorny conflicts set up by its intriguing premise, <em>The Prosecutor <\/em>is nevertheless a highly competent and engaging genre exercise, mixing grounded, high-octane action sequences with the standard court-drama genre. Polygon spoke with Yen on Zoom about how the project came together, how he was convinced to take it on, and how new technology affords new opportunities for old-school ways of filming action.<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\"><em>This interview has been edited for concision and clarity<\/em>.<\/p>\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\" \/>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\"><strong>Polygon: What interested you about <\/strong><strong><em>The Prosecutor<\/em><\/strong><strong>?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\"><strong>Donnie Yen: <\/strong>I was not interested at all. In the beginning, when the company presented it to me, I said, \u201cI have no idea how to do this movie. I do action movies. That\u2019s my world. Why do you want me to do this?\u201d And they just thought two things. One, they really felt how I live as a person \u2014 they know me, it\u2019s my friends \u2014 would make me perfect for that role.<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">Secondly, these are companies I\u2019ve worked with several times in the past, like on the Ip Man series. And they said, \u201cOh, we were prepping for the other movies, <em>Ip Man 5 <\/em>as well as <em>Flash Point 2<\/em>. We\u2019re going to produce these films, and the audience wants to see these films. But you\u2019ve never done a film like [<em>The Prosecutor<\/em>]. Let\u2019s give it a try.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/it-took-months-to-convince-donnie-yen-to-direct-and-star-in-the-prosecutor-1.jpg\" alt=\"A Hong Kong judge, complete with bright red robes and a white wig, in The Prosecutor.\" title=\"A Hong Kong judge, complete with bright red robes and a white wig, in The Prosecutor.\" data-has-syndication-rights=\"1\" data-caption=\"\" data-portal-copyright=\"Image: Well Go USA Entertainment\" \/><\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">So it took two months for me to be convinced. I said, \u201cI really have to think of an angle to do this movie. We watch tons of them, these kinds of sophisticated courtroom scenes. I\u2019m going to do a film combining the two elements.\u201d First, of course, is my core audience. They want to see Donnie Yen action. How do you combine them?<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">Two, I don\u2019t want to create a world where people get caught in the realism of the case itself, then all of a sudden you have people flying around and kicking. I wanted to use the case as more of a driving force of the motion. So when a person\u2019s in the action, the audience can feel the emotion behind it. Ultimately, what I want to say is, the film is about driving the audience to synchronize their emotion with how I want them to react, so they get excited and emotionally attached to the story, rather than the subject itself. We had to put the action scenes in diligently \u2014 we couldn\u2019t just throw in a bunch of action scenes. The audience needs to believe the characters need to go to those action moments, so they were very carefully planted.<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\"><strong>Something that stuck out to me about this film and <\/strong><strong><em>Sakra<\/em><\/strong><strong> is how you combine old-school martial arts film techniques with new technology \u2014 drones, POV action sequences, and more. What is your philosophy on combining the two, and what excites you about it?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">I just call it the technique of telling a story through stylized camera work. In the old-school martial arts movies, we didn\u2019t have those kinds of choices. We had one camera, a still camera, and you just go about doing your fighting. Back in those days, there were no computers. I used to cut my film with the old-school film slicers. And now, of course, we are dealing with modern technologies \u2014 AI, phones, and everything.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/it-took-months-to-convince-donnie-yen-to-direct-and-star-in-the-prosecutor-2.jpg\" alt=\"A smartly dressed man with glasses and salt and pepper facial hair testifies in court in The Prosecutor\" title=\"A smartly dressed man with glasses and salt and pepper facial hair testifies in court in The Prosecutor\" data-has-syndication-rights=\"1\" data-caption=\"\" data-portal-copyright=\"Image: Well Go USA Entertainment\" \/><\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">I do not like to depend on technology unless it\u2019s really necessary. There was a scene in the middle, in a nightclub with drone shots, and it was all real, not even one bit of CGI to enhance. I prepped the directions, choreographed the movements. We spent a whole day shooting that and half of the night going over it with the stuntman. And then the second half of the night is having the drone cameraperson test the shot. And I got the shot. That\u2019s what I wanted, to go back to basics. So what I\u2019m trying to say is, when it comes to filmmaking, I still believe in old-school real emotion, whether it\u2019s an [intellectual] expression of emotion or a physical expression of emotion. They have to be real to be convincing, so the audience can be engaged with your storytelling.<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\"><strong>You&#8217;re using the new technology that&#8217;s available to you, but you&#8217;re still focused on wanting it in-camera, because you want it to feel real.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">Absolutely. You have to. Shots come to me during the script process. I\u2019ll be going over a script with my writers or actors, and shots are already being formed in my head. It\u2019s kind of like a musician. Maybe because I play piano or something. Some sort of musical rhythm that I have in my head brings these images out.<\/p>\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\" \/>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">The Prosecutor <em>is now playing in theaters<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.polygon.com\/action\/506278\/donnie-yen-the-prosecutor-interview\">Source<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A new Donnie Yen movie is always a must-see event for action fans.
