Leave your thoughts about Throw Down.
| Film Journal InternationalDaniel EaganThrowdown may not be top-drawer To, but it's still a good introduction to a director who deserves attention. |
| Slant MagazineEd GonzalezA compelling remix of aesthetic showmanship and human movement. |
| TV GuideKen FoxThe film is as beautiful as it is unpredictable. |
| User ReviewPat PProbably the best movie of 2004, this is one of Johnnie To's best, as well. Amazing cinematography, great acting by Louis Koo and Aaron Kwok, and an absolutely exquisite score by Peter Kam. Johnnie To outdid himself with this movie. |
| User ReviewBenjamin LGood judo film. The director chooses to show more with what the characters don't say in this film. About a young man going blind and renewing the fire inside him.. I highly recommend it. |
| User ReviewAndre RThis was a greta Jonnie To movie, a tribute to Akira Kurosawa, shot like an old shaw brothers film this movie is one of my favorites, not the other throw down that somehow got into my list Aaron Kwok and Louis Koo have great chemistry together on screen. Altogether a great ensemble cast. Brilliant cinematography, great use of humor, a great story of redemption |
| User ReviewLee MLike the spirit - Never give up. Almost every scene is very well and meaningfully presented |
| User ReviewHenrietta CIf you're a fan of Akira Kurosawa, then this movie will definitely have a greater effect on you. A strangely upbeat, though heartfelt, human drama...with Judo and excellent fight scenes. |
| User ReviewPrivate UMy favorite Johnnie To movie. Absolutely love the story and the tribute to Akira Kurosawa. |
| User ReviewDaniel JExcentric character's great martial art's about judo. |
