Joe Leydon Variety Ringo Lam returns to his roots with a rehash of elements from '80s Hong Kong action cinema. Dec 4, 2016 Full Review Simon Abrams RogerEbert.com 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. Rated: 1/4 Dec 2, 2016 Full Review Glenn Kenny New York Times 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 ... Dec 1, 2016 Full Review James Mudge easternKicks.com 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 Rated: 3.5/5 Oct 25, 2020 Full Review Sean Gilman MUBI 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. Rated: 2.5/5 Jan 9, 2018 Full Review Sean Axmaker Stream on Demand ... would seem to suggest a return to that style of action but this is bigger, more lavish, a mix of action movie and conspiracy thriller with CGI expanding his scope, and not always to the benefit of his strengths.
