Cary Darling

Fort Worth Star-Telegram/DFW.com

But what really makes One Night Only work is the chemistry between Kwok and Yang, because, despite the gangsters and guns and the prostitute-with-a-heart-of-gold cliche, it's a surprisingly effective and moving love story.

Rated: 4/5

Though frustratingly let down, for this reviewer at least, by a bungled and melodramatic conclusion, it's a film with plenty to enjoy

Rated: 3.5/5

Richard Yu

Cinema Escapist

[The film] hardly gives the audience a comforting closure ... but it's in the film's tragic ending that One Night Only reminds us that, in real life, couples don't always end up happily ever after.

South China Morning Post

One Night Only rarely bores - although it's also peppered with enough artificial plot turns and revelations to keep you from truly feeling for the protagonists.

Rated: 2.5/5

The Straits Times (Singapore)

The one-night timeframe feels contrived at times as the story has to hinge on the most idiotic of events.

Rated: 2/5

Las Vegas Weekly

At first recalls the work of Wong Kar-wai, only to end up more like a bad soap opera.

A bit slow paced. But at least it kept you watching to find out why.
