Yen continues charging ahead in “The Prosecutor,” which frequently goes hard enough to fly through its corniest lulls. Read full review

The idea is good, but in practice The Prosecutor doesn't fully feel like a legal drama, nor does it feel like a martial arts film. It's a decent film with strong direction, but laden with regrettable missed opportunities. Read full review
