Critics' reviews
- "It's a minor work in the Yimou canon, but a major visual treat."
- "'A Woman, a Gun and a Noodle Shop' has to be the loopiest, most unexpected remake ever."
- "Has little of the wit, surprise, or memorable characterizations of the original."
- "The Chinese film offers this important take-away: Don't attempt to remake a Coen brothers movie, especially if you plan to turn the thing into a bizarre concoction of melodrama and slapstick comedy."
- "A Woman, a Gun and a Noodle Shop proves that American filmmakers aren't the only ones who can bungle remakes of foreign movies."
