| Los Angeles TimesMichael RechtshaffenThe storytelling has all the dramatic complexity of a paint-by-numbers set, and you know exactly where all this is headed from the get-go. |

| Village VoiceSimon AbramsAlmost nothing makes sense in Brush With Danger, a bewilderingly incompetent and inexplicably racist Indonesian action film. |
| User Reviewsan2okGood scene, a bit empty, and nice try as an indie movie; keep up the good work, and keep productive. |
