Critics' reviews

"Essentially a hyperactive showcase for Tsui Hark's ability to pile one unbelievably complex action sequence on top of another."

Roger Ebert: Chicago Sun-Times
"Kinetic and kooky, with a climactic shoot-out at a rail station that's daring in its ridiculousness."

Steven Rea: Philadelphia Inquirer
"Visually, the film is a stunner with its impossibly mobile camera work"

Kevin Thomas: Los Angeles Times
"If only it had a plot mere humans could follow."

Chris Kaltenbach: Baltimore Sun
"It's an opulent, if instantly disposable, kinetic joyride."

Peter Rainer: New York Magazine
