Many years after the bloody turf war that ushered in an uneasy era of peace in Hong Kong's underworld, the notorious Kowloon Walled City serves as a fortified, lawless safe haven for gangs and refugees alike. But when a skilled underground fighter runs afoul of the most feared Triad boss in Hong Kong, a bounty is placed on his head despite his connections to the leader of the infamous enclave. As his pursuers violate the tenuous territorial truce to exact their vengeance, the fallout reignites old grudges, bringing decades of building tension to a brutal, bloody boiling point.

Critics Consensus

An action-packed homage that nails the nitty-gritty choreo-crazed daze of '80s Hong Kong cinema to masterful effect.

Sergio Burstein

Los Angeles Times

A Hong Kong film that, without being a masterpiece, is tremendously exciting and contains some of the most dazzling fight scenes of recent times. [Full review in Spanish]

The Contending

But it’s the relationships in the film that matter most, and I wish the screenwriters and director had focused more time on those since the actors, especially Terrance Lau, Tony Wu, Richie Jen and German Cheung, are terrific.

Rated: B-

Jeff Beck

The Blu Spot

It has the start of an intriguing story and some well-choreographed action throughout, but the film is excessively padded out to its two-hour runtime and depends far too much on its convoluted backstory & nonsensical revenge plot.

Rated: 2.5/5

Offscreen

The nimble camera needs flawless execution to work and that’s exactly what’s on screen: a swift camera that swims through the walled city and forces the characters running through the crowded city to become parkour gods.

This movie was Bruce Lee writ large. Great story with top notch fight scenes. Some mystical wuxia mixed in but done well like comic book violence. Violent without being gory.

Such incredible reviews on YouTube. It just shows that a psycho that was revenge and has power causes the trouble. It's an un- intelligent script. Some crazy fighter with spirit powers so he is better than Superman. A movie with a lot of psychos psychotic people. Mixed with some kind people. I was happy it was over with but what a waste of my day. Go see Wolverine Deadpool or wait for something coming soon.
