Leave your thoughts about Drug War.
| Slant MagazineChuck BowenThe film is a singularly huge, relentless, all-encompassing set piece that mutates and spasms with terrifying lack of foresight. It's all business, business, business. |
| New York PostV.A. MusettoThe climactic shootout, which goes on for 15 minutes and has an astronomical body count, is a masterpiece of its kind. |
| Chicago ReaderBen SachsFew other working filmmakers display this degree of visual sophistication and old-school craftsmanship. |
| Seanax.comSean AxmakerDrug War is [Johnnie] To's most streamlined picture to date. |
| Examiner.comChris SawinDrug War is gripping from its opening shot and doesn't loosen its mesmerizing hold on its viewer until its closing credits. Johnnie To delivers an aggressive slice of crime cinema that isn't afraid to take risks and is very rewarding because of it. |
| LarsenOnFilmJosh Larsen...as nimble as a ballet dancer, even while dancing in muck. |
| Vue Weekly (Edmonton, Alberta)Brian GibsonA nicely tangled, smartly paced and cold little thriller-nothing more, nothing less. |
| Ozus' World Movie ReviewsDennis SchwartzThe routine police procedural crime drama has dedicated Chinese narcotics cops closing in on a big-time drug manufacturer in a risky undercover operation. |
| OregonianMarc MohanLike a cross between "The Wire" and "The French Connection," even if To's blood-drenched fatalism goes a little overboard by the end. Despite the familiarity, it's an impressive piece of work. |
| Philadelphia InquirerTirdad DerakhshaniDrug War is a deeply intelligent, exhilarating and eminently satisfying adult crime story, one of the best thrillers you're likely to see this year. |
