Clarence Tsui The Hollywood Reporter Aug 17, 2016
Sergio Leone's specter looms large over Call of Heroes, a film oozing nihilist violence on par with the bloodiest scenes in any of those spaghetti Westerns that have long informed Hong Kong's wuxia cinema. Go to Full Review

3/5
The backstory between friends-turned-adversaries Eddie Peng Yu Yan and Wu Jing offers more character shading, while a late gear change gives the potentially downbeat story a rousing finish. Go to Full Review

"Call of Heroes" has its faults, but it will definitely surprise its audience at times, and is quite entertaining. Go to Full Review
Alexander Miller Film Inquiry Jun 7, 2017
Call of Heroes is a thoroughly modern and satisfyingly self-aware action film; both classic, old fashioned, and authentically exciting. Go to Full Review
Sean Axmaker Seanax.com Mar 9, 2017
This is real old school action drama, the kind of Hong Kong movie that wears its heart on its sleeve and tends to wave it around with utterly sincere speeches about justice and duty. Go to Full Review

Hagrid M Oct 20, 2017 Buenas peleas, tirando a exageradas, aunque como siempre la historia más bien normalita y los personajes demasiado estereotipados. See more
Kylo R Aug 8, 2017 Very good movie there will be a second part in the future
Abraham R Jul 12, 2017 Excelente western oriental con impresionantes escenas de peleas muy bien coreografiadas. Totalmente recomendable para ver otro cine See more
George S Jul 8, 2017 Pretty awesome choreography from Sammo Hung. A mix of clever and hard-hitting kung fu moves. Great story to boot. I'll be looking out for more Benny Chan films. See more
Theodore W Jun 4, 2017 Call of Heroes est tout à fait ce qu'on peut attendre d'un film d'arts martiaux historique en 2016. Fortement inspiré par le western spaghetti jusque dans le score de Wong Kin-Wai et clairement par les 7 Samurai, non dénué d'humour, visuellement splendide (les combats sont réglés par Sammo Hung qui s'offre un tout petit cameo en toute fin de film) et doté des présences de Wu Jing et Shi Yanneng pour les meilleurs combats, le film de Benny Chan est un divertissement très efficace. Lau Ching-Wan et Eddie Peng sont deux remarquables héros face à un Louis Koo qui a décidé de jouer son général sanguinaire tel un jeune Nicolas Cage à qui on aurait laissé carte blanche. Très sanglant, parfois jusqu'à l'excès, Call of Heroes ralentit un peu avant son troisième acte, mais on ne s'ennuie guère pendant deux heures. C'est déjà une réussite. See more
Hagrid S May 14, 2017 An okay movie with decent fight scenes. The storyline is fairly basic. You know, psycho son drunk with power (with an army at his bidding) murders people and heroes come forth to battle him. Luckily the CGI is kept at a minimum. Nothing is worst than CG'ed blood. See more
