Top Critics Reviews
fresh:
The representation of Asian American men as hot-blooded toughies in the film does put a dent in the omnipresent nerdy eunuch stereotype and the model-minority myth.

rotten:
This crudely made thriller plays like a stilted Cantonese riff on organized-crime cliches, substituting blood and brutality for novelty or insight.

rotten:
This crime drama wants to be a Chinese-American "Goodfellas," but it ends up just looking bad.

rotten:
What initially feels like brash energy peters out until what's left mainly evokes pretty ordinary gangster movies.

rotten:
[A] generic, nondescript gangster saga.
