Top Critics Reviews

rotten:
But for all its stylishness, verve and moments of visual poetry, the relentlessly punishing slapstick and overall cruel tone left me cold.

Kung Fu Hustle snaps and crackles like nuclear popcorn on a scorching griddle.

A film where special effects erase physics and the constraints of the human body, there's absolutely no telling what will come next.

Chow's movie may seem nutty on the surface, but its slyness, its dreamy unfolding of so many moods and genres, becomes intoxicating.

So disarmingly eager to please that only a stone-faced kung fu purist could object.
