| RogerEbert.comSimon AbramsBest of all: you don't have to wait until a concluding set piece for To to prove his prowess as a storyteller. |
| The Straits Times (Singapore)Anjali RaguramanThis remake of the 2013 South Korean film Montage is a suspenseful thriller with a trifecta of arguably the best dramatic actors in Bollywood leading the charge. |
| The A.V. ClubIgnatiy VishnevetskyTo is one of the purest directors working today, and he flourishes within Three’s self-imposed limits, folding and reorienting the space of the hospital using privacy curtains, swinging doors, and a constantly moving camera — in the process producing a rollickingly entertaining movie. |
| Los Angeles TimesNoel MurrayEven during the gunfight, this always remains a character piece: a thoughtful, imaginative movie about stubbornly authoritarian professionals, protecting their territories. |
| The New York TimesGlenn KennyWhen the tension finally does break, the movie goes a little nuts, in venerable Johnnie To tradition. The elaborate, largely slow-motion multifloor action climax is as audacious as anything he has staged and filmed. |
| Washington PostMark JenkinsIn the movie’s first hour, all the blood is medical. Then the director stages a big shootout, mostly in slo-mo, that’s more clunky than epic. Before that misstep, though, Three is singularly entertaining. |
| IndieWireDavid EhrlichJust like To’s characters all have a little something to learn from each other, Three is a master class in how movies can be as unique and infinite as the people who make them. |
| The National (UAE)Sonali KokraThere are plenty of twists and blind alleys to keep the audience's inner Sherlock occupied. |
| Slant MagazineJake ColeThe film shows how much Johnnie To still experiments with his form, especially as he continues to transition to digital cinema. |
| The Film StageMichael SnydelAfter an hour of slow burn simmer, Three culminates in a six-minute set piece that’s among the most memorable action scenes of the year. |
