EmpireKim NewmanSep 25, 2015

Time Out LondonCath ClarkeSep 25, 2015

Village VoiceErnest HardySep 25, 2015
The thread holding it all together is endless, repetitive, interminable fight scenes whose limp choreography is spiced up with Matrix-style slow motion -- in 2015. For all that -- fists flying, bullets dodged, gratuitous female nudity -- the film is oddly inert. Read full review
