Critics Consensus

Exiled has non-stop action, tension and style -- making it an excellent summer action movie. Johnnie To brings beautiful scenery and camerawork to the film, enhancing the action even more.

Lessons of Darkness

An electric, inventive amalgam of gonzo violence and lyrical sentimentality.

Exiled takes the familiar story of a mob hit gone awry and tells it with such artfulness and virtuosity that it feels like nothing you've ever seen before.

Exiled veers on the pretentious ...but the whole thing has such a humor about itself that it's hard to carp about it.

Eye for Film

Johnny To's direction is as smooth as a well-cut suit and the violence has a balletic intensity.

It starts out as a serious oriental mafia flick, but soon morphs into a spaghetti western that would get the nod from Sergio Leone. There's something about Chinese shootouts that defie all logic, though chaotically satisfying. The body of the movie is am enturing love-hate buddy flick with a tickling subplot running throughout. The middle plot is to die for and many do. As is usual with these movies, morals and ethics are a strong theme and welcomed considering how many buckets of blood are splashed around. Thankfully, the dialog is kept to a minimum, meaning the closed caption doesn't get in the way of understanding what's happening. Hats off to Anthony Chau-Sang Wong playing the role of a morally compromised man. His ability to strong expression is movies keel. Will watch agian.

Rated 5 out of 5 stars
