Years ago, committed DEA agent John Lawlor fell in love with Joey Kwang, a Taipei-based transport driver working in the criminal underworld, but was forced to flee due to tragic circumstances. Now, the duo reunites when Lawlor blows his cover as a chef and takes an off-the-books weekend mission to Taipei to bring down a billionaire drug kingpin... who just so happens to be Joey's new husband.

While no single contribution elevates “Weekend” above a disposable-entertainment level, all lend a confident surface shine that makes routine material seem better than it is -- at least for the length of time you’re watching it.

After all the stunts and chases and bloodshed, "Weekend in Taipei" is all about a wholesome sense of #family. Then again, you might forget what the movie was about as soon as it ends.

Rated: 2.5/4

Weekend in Taipei loses its nonstop mojo near the end but there’s more than enough going on that make it worth a trip to theaters.

Rated: 3/5

Don’t expect Weekend in Taipei to be on par with movies like John Wick, but it is not far behind.

The film is fast-paced, confident in its own skin, often very funny, and aims to entertain its audience above all else. Just sit back and enjoy one hell of a ride.

Rated: 7/10

If you’re a fan of the genre, “Weekend in Taipei“ offers a fun ride. It has explosive stunts, an ample amount of blood and gore, a bit of romance, and enough adrenaline to make for an enjoyable, if flawed, viewing experience.

Luc Besson action movies don't disappoint. This one has a family angle I didn't see coming.
