Best of all: you don't have to wait until a concluding set piece for To to prove his prowess as a storyteller. Read full review

To 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.

Even during the gunfight, this always remains a character piece: a thoughtful, imaginative movie about stubbornly authoritarian professionals, protecting their territories. Read full review

The film shows how much Johnnie To still experiments with his form, especially as he continues to transition to digital cinema. Read full review

After 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. Read full review

Just 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. Read full review

70 odd minutes of medical tragedy and cops matching wits with criminals devolves into incongruously balletic gunplay accentuated with CGI blood effects so terrible Sam Peckinpah is doing cocaine in his grave. It’s a weirdly calamitous tonal shift, erasing the scant goodwill we’d felt to this point and putting Three down for the count once and for all. Read full review
