The Prosecutor

Police detective Fok Chi-ho leads his team in the pursuit of an armed robbery gang. Although they capture all the gang members, the leader leaves no trace linking him to the crime and is released without conviction. This incident causes Fok to lose faith in policing, prompting him to leave the force and study law.

Seven years later, Fok joins the Department of Justice and becomes a public prosecutor. Under the mentorship of pupil master Bao, he receives his first case involving drug smuggling. The defendant, Ma, receives a parcel from Brazil containing a kilogram of cocaine. Ma insists he is innocent, claiming he has only borrowed his address to a friend, Chan, who promises him money to alleviate his family's debts. However, Ma's defense lawyer, Li, and legal executive, Au, mislead him into believing he is likely to be convicted, urging him to plead guilty for a reduced sentence, which Ma and his grandfather, Uncle Ma, agree to. When Li approaches Fok to discuss the plea bargain, Fok finds it suspicious that the terms require Ma to take full responsibility while Chan is completely absolved. Nevertheless, chief prosecutor Yeung accepts the terms, believing they provide the best chance for a conviction. During detention, Ma learns from fellow inmates that Li has deceived him, causing him to reconsider his guilty plea out of fear of not seeing his grandfather again. Fok, who believes in Ma's innocence, allows him to change his plea, which dissatisfies Yeung. In the first trial, Au and Li serve as prosecution witnesses. Despite Ma's lawyer attempting to prove that they have misled him during negotiations, his claims lack evidence and are easily dismissed. Fok begins to defend Ma and question his own witnesses. The judge attempts to stop Fok, leading to a clash where Fok argues that the prosecution should focus on those who are truly guilty rather than simply securing a conviction. This argument damages Ma's reputation with the jury, resulting in Chan being acquitted while Ma is convicted of drug smuggling and sentenced to 27 years for showing no remorse.

Realizing his mistake, Fok seeks to help Uncle Ma, who initially rejects him until Fok saves him during an assassination attempt. Uncle Ma reveals to Fok that they hired Li based on a recommendation from Lau, the owner of the restaurant where Ma works. After learning about the assassination attempt, Bao agrees to help Fok investigate, leading them to discover that Yeung has been the prosecutor in every case involving Au. Bao infiltrates a nightclub owned by Lau and overhears a conversation revealing that Lau and Chan are half-brothers. They learn that one brother solicits people to lend their addresses for drug smuggling, while the other pretends to offer pro bono legal assistance through Li and Au, who actually have them take the blame. Fok assists Uncle Ma in applying for an appeal, but Ma is later assassinated in a cha chaan teng. With the half-brothers as the only lead, Fok approaches other victims and eventually locates a girl willing to testify against Lau. Knowing Lau is exposed, Au attempts to persuade him to turn himself in and take full responsibility. However, he is murdered by Sang and Tung, Au's drug lord associates. Meanwhile, Fok confronts Yeung, discovering Yeung's innocence, and the two sets their differences aside.

During the retrial, Yeung serves as the prosecutor and buys time for Fok, who seeks to locate the hiding Chan. With the help of Inspector Lee, Fok's former protégé, they find and convince Chan to testify. However, they are attacked on their way to court, resulting in Lee being severely injured. Fok and Chan continue to the courthouse by MTR, encountering Sang's assassins during the ride. Fok dispatches them all and manages to reach the courthouse, where Chan delivers his testimony against Au. Ultimately, Ma is acquitted, while Au and his syndicate receive appropriate sentences.

The Prosecutor is loosely based on a real-life case from 2016, involving a teenager Ma Ka-kin, who was accused of drug-trafficking and misled into pleading guilty by his defense lawyer and legal executive in exchange for absolving the second defendant Hung Chi-him from charges.{{Cite web |url=https://www.stheadline.com/society/3416654/%E5%90%8C%E4%BD%A0%E8%AC%9B%E6%95%85%E9%9B%BB%E5%BD%B1%E8%AA%A4%E5%88%A4%E6%95%85%E4%BA%8B%E5%8E%9F%E5%9E%8B%E5%B0%91%E5%B9%B4%E5%9D%905%E5%B9%B4%E5%86%A4%E7%8D%84%E8%A2%AB%E6%8F%AD%E6%A1%88%E4%B8%AD%E6%9C%89%E6%A1%88-%E7%82%BA%E4%BD%95%E8%A2%AB%E6%B3%95%E5%AE%98%E6%96%A5%E4%B8%8D%E8%AA%A0%E5%AF%A6%E8%AD%89%E4%BA%BA |title=同你講故｜電影《誤判》故事原型！少年坐5年冤獄被揭案中有案 為何被法官斥不誠實證人? |date=12 January 2025 |website=Sing Tao Daily |access-date=15 January 2025 |language=zh}} After the case received widespread media attention, the Center for Film and Television of Supreme People's Procuratorate initiated plans to adapt it into a film and approached {{ill|Mandarin Motion Pictures|zh|東方影業 (香港)}} and {{ill|Shanghai Huace Film|zh|華策影視}},{{Cite web |url=https://finance.sina.com.cn/jjxw/2025-01-11/doc-ineepzmf5422088.shtml |title=检察文化出海的一次有益尝试 |date=11 January 2025 |website=Sina Finance |publisher={{ill|Procuratorate Daily|zh|檢察日報}} |access-date=15 January 2025 |language=zh}} marking the film as a co-production between Hong Kong and China.

During the COVID-19 pandemic, Raymond Wong and {{ill|Edmond Wong|zh|黃子桓}} from Mandarin Motion Pictures conducted field research to assess the potential for the adaptation, including discussions with a group of barristers and investigations into drug-trafficking cases worldwide. Edmond Wong, the film's screenwriter, aimed to move away from the stereotypical courtroom dramas often depicted in television series, shifting the screenplay's focus towards crime investigation and creating the protagonist, Fok Chi-ho, a narcotics police detective who transitions to a public prosecutor to drive the story.

In 2023, while in talks to produce a sequel to Flash Point (2007), Raymond Wong showed Donnie Yen the screenplay of The Prosecutor and invited him to star as the lead.{{Cite web |url=https://www.mirrormedia.mg/external/ftnn_354513 |title=吳鎮宇真的氣炸了！大膽單挑《葉問》甄子丹上演激烈肉搏戰 |date=12 December 2024 |website=Mirror Media |access-date=15 January 2025 |language=zh |archive-date=14 January 2025 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20250114064901/https://www.mirrormedia.mg/external/ftnn_354513 |url-status=live }}{{Cite web |url=https://www.chinatimes.com/realtimenews/20241217000065-260404?chdtv |title=香港直擊／甄子丹攜自導自演新作《誤判》 坦言「演戲沒有太大滿足感」 |date=17 December 2024 |website=China Times |author=杜欣穎 |access-date=15 January 2025 |language=zh}} Yen initially declined, feeling unfamiliar with the legal drama genre, and hesitant to develop a film that echoed the commercially successful A Guilty Conscience (2023).

He reached out to Hui, who agreed to star in the film in exchange for just a cup of coffee after listening to Wong describe the story for five minutes.{{Cite web |url=https://ol.mingpao.com/ldy/showbiz/latest/20241212/1733997332416/%E8%AA%A4%E5%88%A4-82%E6%AD%B2%E8%A8%B1%E5%86%A0%E6%96%87%E5%AE%A2%E4%B8%B2%E6%BC%94%E6%B3%95%E5%AE%98-%E6%83%B3%E6%9C%89%E5%8B%95%E4%BD%9C%E6%88%B2%E9%81%AD%E7%94%84%E5%AD%90%E4%B8%B9%E6%B4%BE%E6%AA%B8%E6%AA%AC |title=誤判｜82歲許冠文客串演法官 想有動作戲遭甄子丹派檸檬 |date=12 December 2024 |website=Ming Pao |access-date=15 January 2025 |language=zh}} The 82-year-old Michael Hui initially requested action scenes to be written for him, but Yen declined his request.

The large-scale sets included a courtroom and a set resembling the MTR, both of which had a filming period of over two weeks. For the courtroom set, the production design team began construction four months prior to filming, designing it at Shing Fung Film Studio in Sai Kung with a 1:1 scale based on a British courthouse.

Construction of the MTR set took one and a half months and primarily used steel to enhance authenticity. A train platform set was also built, which had to be detached during the action scenes in the carriages. While shooting a scene where Yen was thrown over the shoulder by another actor on the MTR set, he sustained a neck injury and was hospitalized, although no bones were fractured.{{Cite web |url=https://hk.on.cc/hk/bkn/cnt/entertainment/20241220/bkn-20241220000145025-1220_00862_001.html |title=甄子丹高處墮下頭落地 凌晨4點急送院 |date=20 December 2024 |website=Oriental Daily News |access-date=15 January 2025 |language=zh |archive-date=28 December 2024 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20241228035045/https://hk.on.cc/hk/bkn/cnt/entertainment/20241220/bkn-20241220000145025-1220_00862_001.html |url-status=live }}{{Cite web |url=https://topick.hket.com/article/3876083/%E8%AA%A4%E5%88%A4%EF%BD%9C%E7%94%84%E5%AD%90%E4%B8%B9%E6%8B%8D%E7%89%87%E9%AB%98%E8%99%95%E5%A2%AE%E4%B8%8B%E3%80%80%E8%B7%8C%E5%87%BA%E9%98%B2%E8%AD%B7%E5%A2%8A%E9%A0%AD%E8%90%BD%E5%9C%B0%E9%A0%B8%E9%83%A8%E3%80%8C%E5%92%94%E3%80%8D%E4%B8%80%E8%81%B2%E9%80%81%E9%99%A2 |title=誤判｜甄子丹拍片高處墮下 跌出防護墊頭落地頸部「咔」一聲送院 |date=19 December 2024 |website=TOPick |author=羅嘉欣 |access-date=15 January 2025 |language=zh |archive-date=19 December 2024 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20241219110151/https://topick.hket.com/article/3876083/%E8%AA%A4%E5%88%A4%EF%BD%9C%E7%94%84%E5%AD%90%E4%B8%B9%E6%8B%8D%E7%89%87%E9%AB%98%E8%99%95%E5%A2%AE%E4%B8%8B%E3%80%80%E8%B7%8C%E5%87%BA%E9%98%B2%E8%AD%B7%E5%A2%8A%E9%A0%AD%E8%90%BD%E5%9C%B0%E9%A0%B8%E9%83%A8%E3%80%8C%E5%92%94%E3%80%8D%E4%B8%80%E8%81%B2%E9%80%81%E9%99%A2 |url-status=live }} After completing the large-scale sets, the crew moved on to the medium sets, including scenes set in the Department of Justice offices, where they filmed for three to four days.

Richard Kuipers of Variety characterized The Prosecutor as "a flashy combination of Hong Kong crime story and legal drama" with "top-notch fighting and action scenes" and "flamboyant and colorful exchanges" in the courtroom, but also noted that its focus on action led to a "[loss] of sharpness as a legal and human drama", lacking the gripping quality in recent successes like The Sparring Partner (2022) and A Guilty Conscience (2023), while its themes of justice appeared "simplistic" and "sometimes contradictory", suggesting that the film might be treading carefully to avoid provoking censors.{{Cite web |url=https://variety.com/2025/film/reviews/the-prosecutor-review-donnie-yen-ng-pun-1236271403/ |title='The Prosecutor' Review: Donnie Yen Directs and Stars in a Lively If Somewhat Melodramatic Action-Drama |date=10 January 2025 |website=Variety |last=Kuipers |first=Richard |access-date=14 January 2025}} Jeff Ewing of Collider rated The Prosecutor 7/10, highlighting its intriguing genre hybrid approach and the excellent performances of Donnie Yen, Julian Cheung, MC Cheung Tin-fu, and Kent Cheng, but noted that it fell short due to insufficient drama to qualify as a solid legal thriller, a lack of action to be considered a true martial arts film, and an inability to effectively balance characters from vastly different backgrounds, resulting in "missed opportunities".{{Cite web |url=https://collider.com/the-prosecutor-movie-review-donnie-yen/ |title='The Prosecutor' Review: Donnie Yen's Ambitious Genre Hybrid Is Guilty of Missed Opportunities |date=13 January 2025 |website=Collider |last=Ewing |first=Jeff |access-date=14 January 2025}} Simon Abrams of RogerEbert.com gave the film 3/4 stars, praising its "heavy-handed" blend of action and legal drama that showcases Donnie Yen's action skills and charismatic persona, effectively delivering thrilling sequences with "hokey one-liners" and "rousing action", while also exploring the theme of justice within a civic context.{{Cite web |url=https://www.rogerebert.com/reviews/the-prosecutor-movie-review-2025 |title=The Prosecutor movie review & film summary (2025) |date=11 January 2025 |website=RogerEbert.com |last=Abrams |first=Simon |access-date=14 January 2025}}

Edmund Lee of South China Morning Post gave The Prosecutor 3/5 stars, praising its action, particularly the "thrilling opening scene" in a first-person shooter style and the "action-packed climax", but lamenting the lackluster portrayal of the villain played by Julian Cheng, which led the film to "morph into a conventional thriller".{{Cite web |url=https://www.scmp.com/lifestyle/entertainment/article/3291360/prosecutor-donnie-yen-literally-fights-justice-action-packed-court-drama |title=The Prosecutor: Donnie Yen literally fights for justice in action-packed court drama |date=18 December 2024 |website=South China Morning Post |last=Lee |first=Edmund |access-date=9 January 2025 |archive-date=4 January 2025 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20250104042508/https://www.scmp.com/lifestyle/entertainment/article/3291360/prosecutor-donnie-yen-literally-fights-justice-action-packed-court-drama |url-status=live }} Lee also ranked the film 16th out of the 36 Hong Kong films theatrically released in 2024.{{Cite web |url=https://www.scmp.com/lifestyle/entertainment/article/3292150/hong-kong-films-released-2024-ranked-worst-best-led-last-dance |title=The Hong Kong films released in 2024 ranked from worst to best, led by The Last Dance |date=24 December 2024 |website=South China Morning Post |last=Lee |first=Edmund |access-date=8 January 2025 |archive-date=30 December 2024 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20241230100613/https://www.scmp.com/lifestyle/entertainment/article/3292150/hong-kong-films-released-2024-ranked-worst-best-led-last-dance |url-status=live }} Whang Yee Ling of The Straits Times also gave the film 3/5 stars, describing it as an "energetic but melodramatic blockbuster" that features "explosive action" from the Donnie Yen Stunt Team and a strong performance by Michael Hui, while critiquing its "dense yet simplistic" narrative and overly dramatic elements.{{Cite web |url=https://www.straitstimes.com/life/entertainment/at-the-movies-the-return-recasts-homers-odyssey-the-prosecutor-is-energetic-but-melodramatic |title=At The Movies: The Return recasts Homer's Odyssey, The Prosecutor is energetic but melodramatic |date=18 December 2024 |website=The Straits Times |last=Whang |first=Yee Ling |access-date=9 January 2025 |archive-date=30 December 2024 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20241230134847/https://www.straitstimes.com/life/entertainment/at-the-movies-the-return-recasts-homers-odyssey-the-prosecutor-is-energetic-but-melodramatic |url-status=live }} Tay Yek Keak of 8days rated the film 3/5 stars as well, lauding the action and the face-off scenes between Donnie Yen and Michael Hui, while noting that the legal settings are underdeveloped and the villains are one-dimensional, yet the film effectively blends genres with moments of humor and social commentary.

David Ehrlich of IndieWire gave the film a B-, also lamenting that the legal case "struggles to match the same intensity" as the action sequences and fails to adequately explore the systemic corruption harming Hong Kong's lower class in a "hurried and ham-fisted" narrative, while also crediting Donnie Yen for venturing into a new genre despite his age and delivering a "charismatic" performance.{{Cite web |url=https://www.indiewire.com/criticism/movies/the-prosecutor-review-donnie-yen-1235083690/ |title='The Prosecutor' Review: Donnie Yen Fights for Justice in a Bone-Crunching Legal Thriller |date=9 January 2025 |website=IndieWire |last=Ehrlich |access-date=14 January 2025}} James Marsh of Deadline Hollywood offered a negative review, criticizing the film as a "slickly polished slice of mainstream entertainment" with action sequences that felt like "late additions" forced in after Donnie Yen's involvement, which failed to meet the expectations of the action fanbase, while it also inadequately addressed the critical issues surrounding the Hong Kong national security laws and the challenges within the legal sector, making its exploration of justice seem "vaguely worded and far-reaching in application".{{Cite web |url=https://deadline.com/2025/01/the-prosecutor-review-donnie-yen-1236253518/ |title='The Prosecutor' Review: Donnie Yen's Action-Infused Legal Drama Is A Slickly Polished Slice Of Mainstream Entertainment |date=10 January 2025 |website=Deadline Hollywood |last=Marsh |first=James |access-date=14 January 2025 |archive-date=10 January 2025 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20250110202610/https://deadline.com/2025/01/the-prosecutor-review-donnie-yen-1236253518/ |url-status=live }}

Ho Siu-bun of am730 called the film a "high-quality Hong Kong action film", acknowledging both the upsides and downsides commonly seen in the genre, complimenting Takahito Ouchi's impressive action choreography and the humor in Michael Hui's performance, while noting that the dramatic elements feel laid-back, with character development being too slow and unclear, and the dialogues being "hilariously predictable".{{Cite web |url=https://www.am730.com.hk/column/%E5%A8%9B%E6%A8%82/-%E8%AA%A4%E5%88%A4-%E9%97%9C%E6%B3%A8%E5%BC%B1%E5%8B%A2%E5%8F%8A%E7%A4%BE%E6%9C%83%E5%85%AC%E7%BE%A9-%E6%B3%95%E5%BA%AD-%E5%8B%95%E4%BD%9C-%E6%88%90%E7%B8%BE%E6%9C%89%E9%A9%9A%E5%96%9C/520230 |title=《誤判》關注弱勢及社會公義 法庭+動作 成績有驚喜 |date=31 December 2024 |website=am730 |last=Ho |first=Siu-bun |access-date=9 January 2025 |language=zh |archive-date=31 December 2024 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20241231083333/https://www.am730.com.hk/column/%E5%A8%9B%E6%A8%82/-%E8%AA%A4%E5%88%A4-%E9%97%9C%E6%B3%A8%E5%BC%B1%E5%8B%A2%E5%8F%8A%E7%A4%BE%E6%9C%83%E5%85%AC%E7%BE%A9-%E6%B3%95%E5%BA%AD-%E5%8B%95%E4%BD%9C-%E6%88%90%E7%B8%BE%E6%9C%89%E9%A9%9A%E5%96%9C/520230 |url-status=live }} Alex Chung of HK01 called the film a strong entry in the Hong Kong action genre for its effective blend of action and drama, particularly highlighting the "intense" MTR fight scene reminiscent of John Wick: Chapter 4 (2023), commending the performances of the ensemble cast, especially MC Cheung Tin-fu's impressive action work, while noting that the court scenes, although less exciting, still reflect Yen's effort to merge the two genres.{{Cite web |url=https://www.hk01.com/%E9%9B%BB%E5%BD%B1/1087512/%E8%AA%A4%E5%88%A4%E5%BD%B1%E8%A9%95-%E7%94%84%E5%AD%90%E4%B8%B9%E6%89%93%E7%A0%B4%E5%8B%95%E4%BD%9C%E7%89%87%E6%A1%86%E6%9E%B6-%E8%A8%B1%E5%86%A0%E6%96%87%E8%A7%92%E8%89%B2%E7%96%91%E5%91%BC%E6%87%89-%E9%A2%A8%E5%86%8D%E8%B5%B7%E6%99%82 |title=誤判影評｜甄子丹打破港式動作片框架 一角色疑呼應《風再起時》 |date=23 December 2024 |website=HK01 |last=Chung |first=Alex |access-date=9 January 2025 |language=zh}} Calvin Choi, in his opinion piece for Hong Kong Economic Times, highlighted Michael Hui's "extremely authentic" portrayal of a judge, noting that Hui's humor, infused with satire and conveyed through his expressions and intonations, made his performance even more impressive compared to the other characters in the film who lacked realism.{{Cite web |url=https://www.etnet.com.hk/www/tc/diva/art/chatent/45862 |title=許冠文，好想繼續在大銀幕看見這個人 |date=20 December 2024 |website=Hong Kong Economic Times |last=Choi |first=Calvin |author-link=Calvin Choi |access-date=14 January 2025 |language=zh |archive-date=20 December 2024 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20241220110607/https://www.etnet.com.hk/www/tc/diva/art/chatent/45862 |url-status=live }}
