"The Police Story franchise, if you want to call it that, didn't really set the bar too high for this film. Unfortunately this film is just as generic as the other films that came before it." - Sean Williamson, Toronto Star
"Samuel L. Jackson does his best to inject some life into the proceedings, while Chan shows that he's still got some life left in that body of his. The end result is very much a mixed bag, but I still had some fun with it." - Paul Onkean, Pittsburgh Post-Gazette
"A film like this may have played well 20 years ago, but in this day and age it is harder than ever to stand out in the action genre. Police Story: The Return is structurally sound, but it just doesn't do enough to set itself apart from the rest of the herd of action films." - Mark Rawls, Seattle Times
