If you’ve never seen a Johnnie To crime picture, Exiled is a simple, stylish, and utterly delightful introduction.

Variety by Derek Elley

Cast of regulars blends like those in a late-on Howard Hawks' movie.

Village Voice by J. Hoberman

By Hong Kong standards, To's policiers have been fairly down-to-earth, but Exiled--which begins with a tribute to Sergio Leone and ends by acknowledging Sam Peckinpah--exists solely in the world of the movies.

The Macao settings are beautifully rendered, and the dark humor is often very funny. But it is noisy.

The Hollywood Reporter by Kirk Honeycutt

This is an accomplished suspense-action piece that touches on universal themes of brotherhood, exile, love and honor.

The A.V. Club by Noel Murray

Nothing about Exiled is as resonant as To's best work, but it's a clever homage to Sam Peckinpah, right down to the clouds of bloody mist that fill the barroom as To's anti-heroes make their last stand.

New York Post by V.A. Musetto

A grabber from start to finish that should win new fans for cult-favorite To.
