Compelling, kinetic, fast and furious.
Steven Rea, Philadelphia Inquirer

It's a post-Cold War action yarn with a nose for Hong Kong-style melodrama, and a loopy cop drama with undeniable entertainment value.
Chris Vognar, Dallas Morning News
Rotten
Suffers from all the excesses of the genre.
Stephen Hunter, Washington Post

There's a neat twist, subtly rendered, that could have wrapped things up at 80 minutes, but Kang tacks on three or four more endings.
Carla Meyer, San Francisco Chronicle
