As the Light Goes Out

As the Light Goes Out (2014) is a Hong Kong action drama you can watch online on iFILM. On Christmas Eve, a routine callout to a warehouse fire escalates into a full-scale disaster at the Pillar Point power station — and if the firefighters fail, the city goes dark.

Director Pou-Soi Cheang puts together a strong ensemble: Nicholas Tse, Shawn Yue, Simon Yam, and Hu Jun. The film shifts from spectacle to something more grounded once the crew is deep inside the burning plant, where visibility drops to nothing and every call comes down to whether you trust the person next to you. The best sequences are the quiet ones inside the smoke. Stream As the Light Goes Out in full on iFILM.
