Reaction: The excellent foreign numbers have made this film a solid success at the world wide box office.

"There are a lot of strong elements here, but it's not a genre I enjoy so I had a hard time appreciating them, and they were probably held down a bit by the weaker elements: uncharismatic leads, sometimes awkward soundtrack choices. Consider this a slightly rotten review." - Clark Davis, JoBlo.com

"This is a kind of movie they really don't make any more. I really appreciated the film's combination of old school martial arts with a modern day approach. And I must say, the well-choreographed fight scenes are definitely great on the big screen." - Clark Davis, JoBlo.com

"Lewis Tan and Jessica Henwick, despite their good looks, simply don't have the charisma to lead a film. The supporting cast fares much better, but it's hard to make up for weak lead performances." - Mark Plainsview, ReelViews
