Little White Lies

There is epic action and adventure in this film, to be sure, and some humour too - but it is all directed towards a conclusion whose devastating impact is not even undone by the touches of mawkishness that get us there.

London Evening Standard

A better screenplay, tougher editing and less commercial direction might have made the tale more substantial and even funnier -- as it is, Chan keeps it all going.

Rated: 3/5

Daily Telegraph (UK)

Jackie Chan has made plenty of cracking films in his native tongue, but Little Big Soldier, a rambunctiously tragicomic martial epic set during China's Warring States period, is regrettably not one of them.

Rated: 2/5

The National (UAE)

Chan puts his heart and soul into the part of Big Soldier, and it's a reminder that there is more to the actor than Hollywood cinemagoers may have witnessed.

Amusing but, never amazing. There's no ladder twirling, conveyor belt sticking or cashier slot jumping through.

It does not, perhaps, try to do very much, but all the things it does try, it achieves with glowing perfection.

it was pretty ok, but trying to keep the comedy of Jacky Chan while also trying to set in a dramatic depiction of a journey just doesn't seem to work here.

Jackie Chan throws rocks and embodies an older version of his past self. the last punch and gag piece in recent memory that he's done.

I've been on a Jackie Chan binge recently and must say, this is one of his finest pieces of work. It's a quality production, very well acted, has a great story, has action but isnt a stereotyped kung fu movie by any means. It is a believable drama with believable characters but still has interludes of comedy with out the cheesiness of his earlier work. Chemistry between the 3 main leads is excellent and Chan brings a particular depth to this performance... a bit like he did in Karate Kid. I was especially touched by the boat scene and the very end - OMG. If I had to find a complaint - it would be to question what the female character really brought to the story. Not much, really. Liked this movie so much I went back and bought it after renting it. I'll be watching this story again. Wish Chan and made more like it.

Excellent. This is Chan's best work. Epic adventure, spectacular fights, some humor that seems natural, an unexpected ending. I loved it.
