New York PostV. A. Musetto
The entire film is a feast for the eyes that brings to mind the work of Hong Kong ace Wong Kar-Wai. Read full review

New York Daily NewsElizabeth Weitzman
Lee pushes this joyride into stimulation overdrive, playing with colors and film speeds and surfaces and shadows until it makes perfect sense that a movie should be all about energy, rather than -- well, about anything else at all. Read full review

Los Angeles TimesKevin Thomas
For all his mastery of his medium, Lee is no less effective in directing actors than in creating images. Read full review

Chicago TribuneMichael Wilmington
A flashy, splashy and violent chase thriller. Read full review

The script's clichés have nowhere to hide. Read full review

The New York TimesA.O. Scott
This crowd-pleasing spectacle is like a series of showstopper sequences from a musical without much attention paid to the story that is supposed to hold it all together. Read full review

SalonStephanie Zacharek
Lee can't tell a story to save his life, but he's something of a visual magician, laying out glittering piles of goodies that you instinctively want to follow. Read full review

Chicago ReaderLisa Alspector
Images about imagery can be diverting, even insightful, but this painterly 1999 feature piles up studies in elaborately choreographed motion that are their own reason for being. Read full review

Mr. ShowbizMichael Atkinson
The first 15 minutes of Nowhere to Hide rock, and after that it's got nowhere to hide from its own excesses. Read full review

Seattle Post-IntelligencerWilliam Arnold
The characters are uniformly repulsive, the cliche-ridden script builds no real tension or psychological interest, and the bottom line is that Lee's innovative but ultimately tedious and even ludicrous MTV-style visuals add absolutely nothing to the story dynamics. Read full review

Christian Science MonitorDavid Sterritt
The action of this South Korean melodrama is fast and furious, but its emotions and ideas don't manage to keep up. Read full review

TV Guide MagazineKen Fox
With a little more plot, this could have been a killer. Read full review

San Francisco ChronicleMick LaSalle
A Korean film that takes an American genre and gets fancy with it. Read full review

Village VoiceDennis Lim
Lee's trickery is dazzling in flashes but also monotonously strenuous -- the derangement factor is high but there's little evidence of authentic lunacy. Read full review
