As the Light Goes Out ( Chinese: 救火英雄) is a 2014 Hong Kong-Chinese disaster film directed by Derek Kwok and starring Nicholas Tse, Shawn Yue, Simon Yam and Hu Jun. [3]
As the Light Goes Out was released in Hong Kong on January 2, 2014, and in China on January 3, 2014. [1] At the end of the run, the film has grossed $11.92 million in China. [4]
Derek Elley of Film Business Asia gave the film a six out of ten rating, stating that the film "lacks human drama and real scope" and that "isn't especially bad as a genre movie, it's also not especially good, and is certainly no threat to Johnnie To's Lifeline (1997) as the premier Hong Kong firefighting film."
