Leave your thoughts about Call of Heroes.
| Seanax.comSean AxmakerThis is real old school action drama, the kind of Hong Kong movie that wears its heart on its sleeve and tends to wave it around with utterly sincere speeches about justice and duty. |
| Film InquiryAlexander MillerCall of Heroes is a thoroughly modern and satisfyingly self-aware action film; both classic, old fashioned, and authentically exciting. |
| South China Morning PostEdmund LeeBenny Chan's best film in years - a Chinese wuxia epic with obvious echoes to classic spaghetti Western films and Akira Kurosawa's samurai dramas like Seven Samurai and Yojimbo. |
| Hollywood ReporterClarence TsuiSergio Leone's specter looms large over Call of Heroes, a film oozing nihilist violence on par with the bloodiest scenes in any of those spaghetti Westerns that have long informed Hong Kong's wuxia cinema. |
| User ReviewDailiesel MVery good movie there will be a second part in the future |
| User ReviewBenjamin TPretty awesome choreography from Sammo Hung. A mix of clever and hard-hitting kung fu moves. Great story to boot. I'll be looking out for more Benny Chan films. |
| User ReviewCamille LCall of Heroes est tout à fait ce qu'on peut attendre d'un film d'arts martiaux historique en 2016. Fortement inspiré par le western spaghetti jusque dans le score de Wong Kin-Wai et clairement par les 7 Samurai, non dénué d'humour, visuellement splendide (les combats sont réglés par Sammo Hung qui s'offre un tout petit cameo en toute fin de film) et doté des présences de Wu Jing et Shi Yanneng pour les meilleurs combats, le film de Benny Chan est un divertissement très efficace. Lau Ching-Wan et Eddie Peng sont deux remarquables héros face à un Louis Koo qui a décidé de jouer son général sanguinaire tel un jeune Nicolas Cage à qui on aurait laissé carte blanche. Très sanglant, parfois jusqu'à l'excès, Call of Heroes ralentit un peu avant son troisième acte, mais on ne s'ennuie guère pendant deux heures. C'est déjà une réussite. |
| User ReviewSteve WCool fighting scenes but story has been told on film many times |
| User ReviewTony BBenny Chan's name is a guaranteed for action flicks, especially when he collaborates with Sammy Hung. But alas, he didn't care much about the plot, cause this one's play out like a soap... |
| User ReviewAlejandro CBuenas peleas, tirando a exageradas, aunque como siempre la historia más bien normalita y los personajes demasiado estereotipados. |
