"Its affectionate use of genre tropes and amiable performances make it a pleasing diversion for any mature martial arts movie fan."

—

Screen Daily

"Silly and special..."

—

Variety

"Tran maintains a good balance of comedy, character drama, suspense and action throughout..."

—

San Francisco Chronicle

"Understands the joy of a well-orchestrated fight, celebrates the "art" in "martial arts" and knows how to make a bum knee into a killer running gag."
