Wilson whips up an efficiently sleek actioner that knows where its comfort zone is and doesn't stray from it.

The films existence is indeed a paradox that needs further explanation, and its title is therefore quite creatively apt.

Paradox is much better than expected and one of the more brutal Hong Kong thrillers of the last while, boosted by a strong cast and by some excellent work by Sammo Hung

Rated: 4/5

Paradox isn't action-free or anything, but the star caliber isn't what it was in the first two, and the action just doesn't deliver in the way the first two films did.

The Straits Times (Singapore)

. . .[Director Wilson] Yip's syrupy daddy-love moments - featuring Singapore-born, Hong Kong-based actress-model Michelle Saram in a cameo as Lee's wife - make for painfully awkward watching.

Rated: 2/5

Few genre fans should feel short-changed by Yip's brutal action showcase.

Minha opinião: Comando Final 3, este não e continuação dos outros 2 filmes. Mas tem , Louis, Wu, Tony, Ken novamente neste filme, eles aparecem nos 2 filmes com uma outra estória e outros papeis. Mais uma vez, um filme cheio de porradaria. Ótimas lutas , Louis, Tony, Wu, Chris,.... Cheio de ação. Filme conta a estória de Prefeito que precisa de um transplante de coração. E os traficantes de órgãos encontram em uma adolecente, que foge do pai que é policial Louis. E ela é raptada e o pai vai em busca da filha. O desespero dele é refletido e comove os policias Tony e Wu que começam a ajuda-lo. Neste filme acertaram em não colocar várias estórias em um filme como no 2 que se perderam. Aqui puderam trabalhar melhor cada papel. Louis vai descobrindo, todo o esquema do trafico de órgãos, até que descobre que sua filha foi morta. E acorda um espirito de vingança. Quem foi o traidor ou traidores. Roteiro: Bem feito Vale apena assistir? sim Nota: 7,5

Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars

Lame would be doing it a favour. Some of the fight choreography is comical e.g. just stand there, I'll hit you when I'm done with this guy. Waste of time.

I'm very much in the minority here, but while I liked SPL2 well enough, I vastly preferred SPL3. It had a story that was vastly more coherent (yet somewhat intricate on its own), has vastly better action sequences and a more morally grey villain. The one thing I will say that the second had over this is a stronger sense of intensity (that often lead to frustration), a more violent feel, and a more experimental nature (being from the Director of the somewhat-excellent Dog Bit Dog that makes sense), however this one is notably easier to follow-along with and is vastly more cathartic during the more violent parts. I also thought the ending was actually really rather brutal and tragic, but in an emotionally satisfying way, and Louis Koo's performance strongly helps sell the conclusion to this, ultimately, sad story. It also felt more in-line with the excellent first SPL film, albeit some of this is likely to returning Director Wilson Yip and a retread of the music - it too is about moral greys of both heroes and villains, but not in the modern self-indulgent "subversion" way; it's just smart. And as an action movie, it's satisfying, as well as grounded vastly more in reality after the borderline wire-fu of SPL2.

Rated 4 out of 5 stars
