What the critics said

Notable Critics

"I was certainly happy to be trapped in the film's conceit, and the directors, Andrew Lau and Alan Mak, manage to convince us that we have witnessed an action movie, although in fact the quantity of violence is so minimal."

— Anthony Lane

"Superbly honed at both script and performance levels, with character taking precedence over action."

— Derek Elley
