Review For Dragon |
"Dragon" has enough interesting left turns in style, mood and psychodrama to make it stand out. Robert Abele-Los Angeles Times
The movie hurtles along at a pitch of sentiment and melodrama that would make MGM blush, and it's mostly very diverting. Farran Smith Nehme-New York Post
As a whole, it does not quite work, especially at the end, when Mr. Chan tries for a Shakespearean climax of filial rebellion and paternal rage. A.O. Scott-New York Times
The widescreen cinematography and mountain rain-forest locations retain their interest, as does the deftly incongruous score, which ranges from samba to hard rock. Mark Jenkins-NPR
The large canvas and pseudo-superhero tactics work for a bit, but then the action gets sidetracked in place of myth-building. Joe Neumaier-New York Daily News
A martial-arts morality play as lithe as it is forceful. Mary Corliss-TIME Magazine
An exhilarating opening fight scene sets the stage for this otherwise cheesy chop-socky Hong Kong saga. Todd Jorgenson-Cinemalogue.com
Dragon delivers a few swift kicks and a barrage of bone crunching punches to the standard expectations of a remake. Dragon is a stunning display of martial arts action, mesmerizing detective work, and engaging performances. Chris Sawin-Examiner.com
Gracefully acted, brilliantly shot, and effortlessly combining both character study and superb butt kicking, Wu Xia is an excellent post-modern subgenre gem. Bill Gibron-PopMatters
Yen's strengths have never been in his expressiveness, and Dragon plods when it centers on dramatic struggles, then leaps exhilaratingly to life whenever the fighting begins. Alison Willmore-AV Club
Hi-ya!-accentuated kung fu smackdowns make everything better. Keith Uhlich-Time Out New York
Both a throwback to and a commentary on the swordplay genre that used to dominate Asian cinema, Dragon is so clever and well-made that it might win over a broader-than-usual audience here. Daniel Eagan-Film Journal International
Peter Ho-Sun Chan and Deonnie Yen Chan are too resourceful to let things remain dull for long. Andrew Schenker-Slant Magazine
It's been described by its makers as 'Colombo meets CSI' but this doesn't fully capture the epic tone and the brilliant images that fuel one of the most interesting of recent Chinese films with martial arts traditions Andrew L. Urban-Urban Cinefile
