Critics on Rotten Tomatoes
Top critics, in their words
Rotten
This crudely made thriller plays like a stilted Cantonese riff on organized-crime cliches, substituting blood and brutality for novelty or insight.

Rotten
This crime drama wants to be a Chinese-American "Goodfellas," but it ends up just looking bad.

Nicolas Rapold, New York Times
Rotten
[A] generic, nondescript gangster saga.
Mike D'Angelo, AV Club
