| The Hollywood ReporterFrank ScheckThere are some thrilling sequences, to be sure, but the whole is definitely less than the sum of its parts. |
| VarietyJoe LeydonThere’s really nothing new here. Still, it’s hard to deny the sporadically satisfying nostalgic appeal of this dash down memory lane. |
| The New York TimesGlenn KennyThis is a Hong Kong action picture in the classical mode, balancing mayhem with sentimentality, offering up bone-crunching and jaw-dropping set pieces, and pulling out all the stops for a finale teeming with stressful twists and turnabouts — not to mention kicks, punches, gunshots and explosions. |
| MUBISean GilmanFrom any random filmmaker, this movie would be barely worth mentioning. It's fine, it's mostly painless, it would immediately depart from the memory. But from Ringo Lam, it's a crushing disappointment. |
| Los Angeles TimesRobert AbeleKeeping up with the betrayals and shifting allegiances is more tedious than fun, while the simplistic moralizing about callous corporate greed, and the detours into tragedy, fall flat. |
| RogerEbert.comSimon AbramsOnly really comes alive when cars are being used as battering rams and computer-generated explosions proliferate like fireworks. |
| Stream on DemandSean Axmaker... would seem to suggest a return to that style of action but this is bigger, more lavish, a mix of action movie and conspiracy thriller with CGI expanding his scope, and not always to the benefit of his strengths. |
