Lots of family tragedy, saccharine love, and high-impact tae kwon do.

Tirdad Derakhshani, Philadelphia Inquirer
Rotten

For all the shooting, knifing and nattering about sleeper cells, the film feels weirdly static and terminally tired.

Jeannette Catsoulis, New York Times

In this expansive, even elegant movie, Myung-hoon turns from assassin to knight-errant in pursuit of a virtue he barely has time to understand. His rapid evolution is nothing short of moving.

Tom Keogh, Seattle Times
Rotten

The filmmakers are committed to tragic romanticism. If they muster few thrills and no surprises, at least they don't stoop to a happy ending.

Mark Jenkins, Washington Post
Rotten

When Commitment isn't a perfectly forgettable action film, it's either an oil-thin melodrama or a charbroiled treat for meatheads.

Simon Abrams, Village Voice
