Christian Science Monitor
David Sterritt
The picture is a little too pretentious to achieve its artistic and emotional goals, but its ambition and imagination are impressive at times.

A.O. Scott
Mr. Law doesn't disgrace himself here, though he doesn't have much to do, and the director, Po Chih Leong, is deft at creating atmosphere, but it's an atmosphere we've all seen before.

Starts intriguingly but ends up thrashing around as a toothless wonder.
