| San Francisco ChronicleBob GrahamIt is not merely a thriller but a shocker. It will separate hard-core Jet Li followers from the fair-weather fans. |
| The Film YapNick RogersJet Li's true masterpiece of the 2000s is a blitzkrieg of crazy, hard-R martial arts. Forget the need to always know who's beating whom or why in a narrative that's basically negligible. "Dragon's" gritty, giddy grindhouse thrills trump logic. |
| L.A. WeeklyJohn PattersonThe inventive, often comically horrible fight set pieces will have you standing on your seat cheering like a Viking, and the result is a supremely kinetic and amusing guilty pleasure. |
| Entertainment WeeklyLisa SchwarzbaumThis is all grimy, guy on guy fun, right down to the fevered, bad English dialogue. |
| Cinema CrazedFelix Vasquez Jr.A return to form for Li who dropped all the hip hop crap and was allowed to put his raw skills on display... |
| Reel Film ReviewsDavid NusairLi has smartly decided to eschew the all-too-fashionable use of wires for the fight scenes in favor of old-fashioned hand-to-hand combat. |
| RTÉ (Ireland)Tom GrealisIn almost all martial arts action movies, plot is subordinate to action, and 'Kiss Of The Dragon' is no different. |
| PopMattersJun KimBelongs to that rare breed of Hollywood film that does some justice to the talents of Hong Kong crossover stars. |
| Aisle SeatMike McGranaghanIt ain't art, but it sure is a good time for anyone who enjoys the occasional bit of bone-crunching entertainment. |
| ReelViewsJames BerardinelliWhack! Thworp! Crack! Sometimes, it's fun to sit back and enjoy the spectacle of bad guys getting their heads beaten in. |
