Deborah Young The Hollywood Reporter Feb 14, 2017
A relentless stylishness unifies the film, extending from the hard bright lights of upscale Taipei all the way to the sleaziest junkyard of rural Japan, where the action unfolds. Go to Full Review
Jonathan Romney Screen International Feb 13, 2017
The film shifts so continually and so unpredictably between bleakness and whimsy, between the sugared and the sordid, that it's very hard for viewers to stay invested in the fiction, still less in the characters. Go to Full Review
Owen Gleiberman Variety Feb 13, 2017
The maverick director Sabu has made a hitman fable that's like Charlie Chaplin meets Takeshi Miike. The weird thing is, it works. Go to Full Review

Albus M Mar 6, 2018 This was a good film. It was humorous and touching. Mr. Lone is a bad ass. you wouldn't want him to be coming for you. But he has a caring side too. See more
Anakin L Feb 14, 2017 A surprising film that finds an enviable balance between whimsical comedy and heartbreaking tragedy, making us laugh and cry in nearly equal doses while gradually pulling us in with its wide emotional scope and a magnetic central performance by Chen Chang. See more
