Critics' reviews
- "Yen's handful of duels do delight; it's everything surrounding them that feels tired and trite."
- "Wilson Yip has crafted a gripping, rousing, beautifully structured yarn, built around a calm but charismatic star performance by Donnie Yen"
- "If you're looking for great action scenes, you've found them. But if you desire more than eye candy, such as character and plot development and historical accuracy, you'll have to look elsewhere."
