Top Critics Reviews

There's undeniable enjoyment to be had from films crammed with movie references, but the fun wears thin -- then out -- when there's nothing else happening.

There's a fine chemistry of contrasts between Lau's exuberance and the quiet, slow-burning intensity Takashi Sorimachi brings to his role.

Manages to be original, even though it rips off many of its ideas.

So what is the point? Lovingly choreographed bloodshed taking place in a pristine movie neverland, basically.

rotten:
Full of visual and verbal references to action and noir favorites, but burdened by a knotty story line and existential dialogue about fateful coincidences, it has trouble locating its own emotional core.
