Reaction: We're honestly pretty surprised by the box office to this one. The foreign audience just really didn't seem to be interested in coming out to see this one - which is surprising given the foreign pedigree involved (Park, Oldman, Cassel).

 "Part of me wonders if Luc Besson has any pending litigation against the filmmakers of this movie for copyright infringement. Hell, the girl (Millie Bobby Brown) even looks nearly identical to Natalie Portman in Besson's cult class 'Leon: The Professional'" - Michael Wilmington, Rolling Stone




"While the plot is highly derivative, director Chan-wook Park has enough style to keep things mostly interesting" - Bruce Vickers, Baltimore Sun




"While there are certainly some scenes that work and there are some good performances on display, the story is pretty pedestrian and doesn't anything to the genre" - Ken Giles, Houston Chronicle
