Time Out by

King Hu's mastery of pace, humour, colour and design makes most other movies around look tatty.

The New York Times by Glenn Kenny

Once the players are established, the movie falls into a sweet lather, rinse, repeat mode of scenes, alternating character intrigue and fighting.

The Hollywood Reporter by John DeFore

More exciting is Hu's handling of the minutes before violence erupts: His staging and editing pinballs our attention back and forth around the small inn, as conspirators furtively communicate with each other or gauge how to respond to the suspicions of Khan and his underlings. These masterful sequences are a delight.
