The finale is a slow-motion tour de force that blends style, elegance and nuance of character in showers of blood.
Ted Fry, Seattle Times

Exiled is creative and bizarre, maybe too bizarre, but since most action films adhere to a cookie-cutter formula, its quirkiness is most welcome.
G. Allen Johnson, San Francisco Chronicle

To packs the moments of contemplation with as much suspense as the action sequences and is a master of ratcheting up tension through small details.
Kevin Crust, Los Angeles Times

Johnnie To, the director, is highly respected in this genre, and I suppose he does it about as well as you'd want it to be done, unless you wanted acting and more coherence.
Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times
