Doesn't break ground; in fact, it carries on a tradition. But it does so with both flair and passion.

The film has the dirty-fingernails realism of a Peckinpah western, and the same remorseless pessimism about the ultimate fate of men who live near death.
Colin Covert, Minneapolis Star Tribune
Fresh
A tale of noble brotherhood compromised by self-interest and a messy love triangle, The Warlords, ultimately, tries to speak to the futility of war - but it does so by staging one gargantuan dustup after another.
Steven Rea, Philadelphia Inquirer
Rotten
In The Warlords, war is heaven. In fact, it makes everything else seem tedious by comparison.
Michael O'Sullivan, Washington Post

The Warlords gets a release in the United States nearly 2 1/2 years after its Hong Kong premiere, and it's a wonder it took so long.
Peter Hartlaub, San Francisco Chronicle
