Critic Reviews

  • Richard Kuipers, Variety

    Asian superstars Gong Li and Andy Lau spark together, but the script rarely produces fireworks.

  • Mark Olsen, Los Angeles Times

    Andy Lau and Gong Li are appealing leads, but this Chinese-language carbon copy doesn't find a distinctive voice.

  • Jim Slotek, Jam! Movies

  • Tim Grierson, Screen International

    This Mandarin-language remake of the 2000 Mel Gibson blockbuster rarely rises above a genial likability, lacking sufficient comic or romantic brio.

  • Jim Slotek, Toronto Sun

    This waaay overlong, Mandarin-language remake seems more the result of the kind of marketing-mentality it professes to mock.
