Gary Goldstein Los Angeles Times Aug 22, 2014
Director, co-writer and production designer Daniel Lee keeps things moving so quickly, there's little time to worry about such basics as where we are or what's actually going on. Go to Full Review
Daniel M. Gold New York Times Aug 21, 2014
While "14 Blades" grinds on perhaps a half-hour too long, its ambitions and energies show that for a fresh take on the western, go east. Go to Full Review
Simon Abrams Village Voice Aug 19, 2014
Come for Ku's joyful choreography, stay for Yen's most memorable post-comeback performance. Go to Full Review

...all that said, it has its fun moments and Yen is just a total tough guy. Never has a small wooden box been filled with so many fun weapons of death. Go to Full Review
Nicholas Bell IONCINEMA.com Aug 30, 2019

Casting Donnie Yen in a martial arts film and burying him in CGI is akin to casting Arnold Schwarzenegger in an action film and arming him with a Nerf gun. Go to Full Review

Luke W Jun 11, 2017 This movie had everything! First a mustached, crinkle-haired hero who wears a hat that makes him look like Antonio Banderas in Zorro, complete with younger protege who has the long straight hair style of Wind in His Hair from Dances With Wolves, a band of desert thieves who turn out to be good guys, lead by a Chinese Johnny Depp look- alike from Pirates of the Caribbean who sports no shirt to show off his killer abs, a female baddie who has the make up job of Julie Newmar playing Cat Woman on the 60s TV show Batman who sports a Bo Derek from 10 hairdo, who can actually not only strip while fighting, but put them back on, too, and finally a bad guy general with a sheik's headdress who serves a prince with iron legs, kind of the opposite to Dr. Loveless in Wild, Wild West. The airborne fighting styles are right out of Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, while the music could come from just about any of the old Clint Eastwood spaghetti westerns. Last, but not least, there is a rockslide ambush in the canyon straight out of really old westerns and the romantic ending when "every time a bell rings" the hero comes back to the heroine riding out of the sunset. WOW! How can all of this not be entertaining? See more
