Cast

Release

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]

Reception

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."[1]
