Top Critics Reviews

Features explosive effects and flashy action best viewed on a large screen.

fresh:
Compelling, kinetic, fast and furious.

fresh:
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,

rotten:
Suffers from all the excesses of the genre.

rotten:
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.
