The Hollywood Reporter

Sergio Leone's specter looms large over Call of Heroes, a film oozing nihilist violence on par with the bloodiest scenes in any of those spaghetti Westerns that have long informed Hong Kong's wuxia cinema.

Radio Times

The backstory between friends-turned-adversaries Eddie Peng Yu Yan and Wu Jing offers more character shading, while a late gear change gives the potentially downbeat story a rousing finish.

Rated: 3/5

"Call of Heroes" has its faults, but it will definitely surprise its audience at times, and is quite entertaining.

Film Inquiry

Call of Heroes is a thoroughly modern and satisfyingly self-aware action film; both classic, old fashioned, and authentically exciting.

This is real old school action drama, the kind of Hong Kong movie that wears its heart on its sleeve and tends to wave it around with utterly sincere speeches about justice and duty.

Minha opinião: Um filme que temos estrelas do cinema chinês. Louis, Wu, Eddie, Sean, Sammo,.... Um filme com a temática dos tempos antigos. Onde temos um filho de general totalmente soberbo e arrogante, que é um ditador sem humanidade que mata sem pudor. E dentro deste conflito temos o tema deste filme que Louis fazendo este papel e temos o mocinho Wu e Eddie. E o mocinho que fica encima do muro Sean. Neste cenário onde Louis chega a um vilarejo e coloca em risco a vida de todos. Mas nesta guerra do bem do mal e um povo submisso, quem vencerá? Com boas coreigrafias o filme se desenrola.Com atuações medianas. Roteiro e enredo poderia ser muito melhor trabalhado. Com os atores que estão no elenco poderia ser bem melhor. Vale apena assistir? Sim Nota: 5

Buenas peleas, tirando a exageradas, aunque como siempre la historia más bien normalita y los personajes demasiado estereotipados.

Pretty awesome choreography from Sammo Hung. A mix of clever and hard-hitting kung fu moves. Great story to boot. I'll be looking out for more Benny Chan films.

Rated 4 out of 5 stars
