Critic Reviews
-
James Luxford, The National
Chan puts his heart and soul into the part of Big Soldier, and it's a reminder that there is more to the actor than Hollywood cinemagoers may have witnessed.
-
Fred Topel, Screen Junkies
Amusing but, never amazing. There's no ladder twirling, conveyor belt sticking or cashier slot jumping through.
-
Anton Bitel, Little White Lies
There is epic action and adventure in this film, to be sure, and some humour too - but it is all directed towards a conclusion whose devastating impact is not even undone by the touches of mawkishness that get us there.
-
Tim Brayton, Antagony & Ecstasy
It does not, perhaps, try to do very much, but all the things it does try, it achieves with glowing perfection.
-
Derek Malcolm, This is London
A better screenplay, tougher editing and less commercial direction might have made the tale more substantial and even funnier -- as it is, Chan keeps it all going.
