Joe Leydon Variety 12/04/2016
Ringo Lam returns to his roots with a rehash of elements from '80s Hong Kong action cinema. Go to Full Review Simon Abrams RogerEbert.com 12/02/2016
1/4
The worst kind of bad action movie: the kind that half-assedly purports to be uplifting, but is actually only convincing when it's about explosions, car chases, and amorally spectacular violence. Go to Full Review Glenn Kenny New York Times 12/01/2016
This is a Hong Kong action picture in the classical mode, balancing mayhem with sentimentality, offering up bone-crunching and jaw-dropping set pieces, and pulling out all the stops ... Go to Full Review James Mudge easternKicks.com 10/25/2020
3.5/5
Though Sky on Fire isn't one of Ringo Lam's best, mainly due to its lacklustre script, it's an enjoyable slice of old school action fun, and one which fans should enjoy Go to Full Review Sean Gilman MUBI 01/09/2018
2.5/5
From any random filmmaker, this movie would be barely worth mentioning. It's fine, it's mostly painless, it would immediately depart from the memory. But from Ringo Lam, it's a crushing disappointment. Go to Full Review Sean Axmaker Stream on Demand 10/06/2017
