Prolific Hong Kong lenser Johnnie To delivers another solid action picture with this latest effort.
Frank Scheck, Hollywood Reporter

To, Hong Kong's best action auteur since John Woo left for Hollywood, doesn't disappoint.
G. Allen Johnson, San Francisco Chronicle

Generally good performances from the Hong Kong, Taiwanese and Mainland cast, plus kinetic widescreen photography, deliver solid enough entertainment.
Derek Elley, Variety

A film filled with terrifically choreographed action and very little on its mind.
