Top Critics Reviews
fresh:
Though not entirely an original concept, this vibrantly shot, East-meets-West fusion of Wushu and Washington never feels like a cheap forgery.

rotten:
Although the characters repeatedly express their worship of "original art" in gilded frames, the script consists of singularly unoriginal dialogue.

rotten:
Brush With Danger's few action scenes, all poorly choreographed, do nothing to extenuate the film's offensive characterizations.
