United States | The New York Times | "Pure junk" | NEG |
United States | Chicago Sun-Times | "It's a high-gloss version of a Hong Kong action picture, made in America but observing the exuberance of a genre where surfaces are everything" | POS |
United States | The Washington Post | "Forgettable the instant it strafes your retinas." | NEG |
United Kingdom | Empire | "It's just like a spectacularly excessive and melodramatically daft Cantonese crime opus, but in English" | NEU |
United States | The New Yorker | "In the more anonymous American setting, and without the mad conviction of a director like John Woo, all the choreographed murder feels dull, poorly paced, and, come to think of it, pretty demented." | NEG |
United States | Chicago Reader | "Despite the practical nature of the costars' bond, I spent most of the lukewarm actioner wondering when the hell they were going to start kissing" | NEU |
