There's precious little here that hasn't been done better before, at least when it comes to the martial beatdowns.

Rated: 1.5/5

Los Angeles Times

Though not entirely an original concept, this vibrantly shot, East-meets-West fusion of Wushu and Washington never feels like a cheap forgery.

New York Times

Although the characters repeatedly express their worship of "original art" in gilded frames, the script consists of singularly unoriginal dialogue.

Film Journal International

Brush with Danger appears to mean well...But the movie's laudable message is undermined by some terrible acting.

As the Los Angeles Times described, Brush with Danger is "vibrantly shot, East-meets-West fusion". I love the cinematography of this film. The filmmakers behind this project are very young and inspiring.

I watched this film a few times. As an immigrant I can totally relate to the hardship and hard work being in another country. This film is both touching and inspiring.
