Critic Reviews

Jeannette Catsoulis

TV Guide Magazine Maitland McDonagh

Though it ultimately devolves into megabudget Hollywood action-movie cliches by way of John Woo, Lee's handsome blockbuster is an entertaining variation on the American formulas that have colonized world cinema. Read full review

Ed Park
