Clarence Tsui The Hollywood Reporter 08/17/2016
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. Go to Full Review

3/5
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. Go to Full Review

"Call of Heroes" has its faults, but it will definitely surprise its audience at times, and is quite entertaining. Go to Full Review
Alexander Miller Film Inquiry 06/07/2017
Call of Heroes is a thoroughly modern and satisfyingly self-aware action film; both classic, old fashioned, and authentically exciting. Go to Full Review
Sean Axmaker Seanax.com 03/09/2017
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. Go to Full Review

Carlos T 07/31/2023 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 See more @TKDLife 04/09/2021 A fun martial arts film In the style of an old western tv series or movies. Strong characters. A good sense of humor. Great fight choreography. See more 10/20/2017 Buenas peleas, tirando a exageradas, aunque como siempre la historia más bien normalita y los personajes demasiado estereotipados. See more 08/08/2017 Very good movie there will be a second part in the future See more 07/12/2017 Excelente western oriental con impresionantes escenas de peleas muy bien coreografiadas. Totalmente recomendable para ver otro cine See more 07/08/2017 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. See more Read all reviews
