While working in the morgue, a forensic expert and his assistant are accosted by masked intruders who demand access to a body.

Fionnuala Halligan

Screen International

With its high-concept brawn funnelled into a 93-minute cat-and-mouse game, Bodies At Rest is low on humour for the genre but, with the help of action director Sam Wong, it pulls no punches in its many lengthy fight sequences.

The Hollywood Reporter

Despite its flaws, Bodies grabs you quickly and never really lets go for the entirety of its lean, efficient 90 minutes.

Filled with old school action, Bodies at Rest is the best action Netflix has to offer. [Full Review in Spanish]

South China Morning Post

Bodies at Rest is a satisfactory, if forgettable, rehash of one of those generic gritty Hollywood action films that have gone out of fashion.

Rated: 2.5/5

The Straits Times (Singapore)

Of all the twists and turns the movie serves up, one of the biggest surprises is to see Renny Harlin credited as director.

When the puzzle pieces finally all come together, Bodies At Rest proves to be an interesting take on Hong Kong action flicks.
