Once you accept that the script is dumber than a bag of hammers and almost nothing that happens on-screen is going to make any sense at all, then there is plenty here to enjoy.

Rated: 2.5/5

Grant Watson

Fiction Machine

Weekend in Taipei is not made to be artful, or top quality, and certainly not to be original. It is what it is, and as I like to say: expect what you get, and you will get what you expect.

Rated: 5/10

The plot is perfunctory, and the characters are basic, but easy enough to get past in favour of the well-shot action scenes, the actors (mostly) piling on the charm to make up for the lacking script, and a decent sense of humour about itself.

Rated: 13/20
