We’ll soon be seeing martial arts superstar Donnie Yen (Raging Fire, Ip Man 4: The Finale, Big Brother) in Comeback Home (aka Polar Search and Rescue), a snow-filled thriller from director Law Chi Leung (The Bullet Vanishes).
The upcoming film also stars stars Cecilia Han (The Golden Doll) and Jia Bing (The Eleventh Chapter)
Comeback Home is being described as “a father-and-son rescue drama.” Probably not the plot description you’ve been hoping for, especially given that it’s a film headlined by one of Asia’s top action stars.
Judging from what we’ve seen in the trailer, Comeback Home has elements of drama, suspense, a bit of action, and even dips into the disaster film genre. Those expecting Yen to kick some unlimited ass should probably keep their hopes at bay, as its physical action is not only kept to a minimum, but is also realistic and grounded. But hey, you’ll never know – trailers only give away so much – so maybe this will be Donnie Yen’s answer to to the 1993 Renny Harlin/Sylvester Stallone thriller Cliffhanger?
Comeback Home, which started production in 2020, but was delayed due to the Coronavirus pandemic, is set to be released later this year.
