The plot-light nature of Bleeding Steel wouldn't be so vexing if the film's tone and story didn't seemingly shift at random.

Rated: 1.5/4

At 64, Mr. Chan is still the most talented and witty athlete in cinema.

Slant Magazine

A film so brazen in its desire to reach a wide audience that it plays like a compilation of disparate action set pieces, each shamelessly stolen from successful Hollywood franchises.

Rated: 1/4

Jackie Chan is credited as "Excetutive Producer" [sic] in the opening credits. That pretty much tells you the amount of effort that went into this film, because Bleeding Steel is one of the worst films in Jackie Chan's career.

Rated: 1/5

With cartoonish villains who seem to have wandered in from a rogue superhero movie, the mixed milieus of police drama, sci-fi actioner, father-daughter relationship movie and special effects showcase don't remotely come together.

Rated: 2.5/5

Maybe this title is to Jackie Chan as Moonraker was to James Bond, an extravagant attempt to imitate the box office fare of its time, which only highlighted the throwback quality of the central character. It's a "jump the shark" moment.

There are few movies that call for the term "A Mixed Bag" better than Bleeding Steel. Primarily, it's an absolutely amazing Sci-Fi Action Thriller fused poorly with a mediocre Teen Comedy. This results in one of the most whiplash-inducing tones I've ever seen in a movie, and one that the movie simply does not survive. I'm giving the movie a pass because the good moments (the Sci-Fi Action moments) are every bit as good as top-tier Hollywood Blockbuster entertainment in terms of VFX, Cinematography and Editing, and this movie would deserve a very high rating if it stayed with this as its core component; Giving credit where credit is due.

Just consider it a sci-fi comedy and it won't seem so bad, until you see the ending scene. Frak! pow!

I thought it was good overall with an interesting storyline, but it moved quickly & seemed to leave gaps in the story & its character development. It did set you up for a sequel so perhaps we'll get more Jackie Chan action with his partners plus more of the storyline filled in

Jackie Chan's charm was squandered on a movie filled with plot holes and bad lines. Think "Sharknado" but if it were serious.
