88
New York Post
V. A. Musetto
The entire film is a feast for the eyes that brings to mind the work of Hong Kong ace Wong Kar-Wai.

75
New York Daily News
Elizabeth Weitzman
Lee pushes this joyride into stimulation overdrive, playing with colors and film speeds and surfaces and shadows until it makes perfect sense that a movie should be all about energy, rather than -- well, about anything else at all.

70
Los Angeles Times
Kevin Thomas
For all his mastery of his medium, Lee is no less effective in directing actors than in creating images.

63
Chicago Tribune
Michael Wilmington
A flashy, splashy and violent chase thriller.

63
USA Today
Staff [Not Credited]
The script's clichés have nowhere to hide.

60
Chicago Reader
Lisa Alspector
Images about imagery can be diverting, even insightful, but this painterly 1999 feature piles up studies in elaborately choreographed motion that are their own reason for being.

60
The New York Times
A.O. Scott
This crowd-pleasing spectacle is like a series of showstopper sequences from a musical without much attention paid to the story that is supposed to hold it all together.

60
Salon.com
Stephanie Zacharek
Lee can't tell a story to save his life, but he's something of a visual magician, laying out glittering piles of goodies that you instinctively want to follow.

59
Mr. Showbiz
Michael Atkinson
The first 15 minutes of Nowhere to Hide rock, and after that it's got nowhere to hide from its own excesses.

58
Seattle Post-Intelligencer
William Arnold
The characters are uniformly repulsive, the cliche-ridden script builds no real tension or psychological interest, and the bottom line is that Lee's innovative but ultimately tedious and even ludicrous MTV-style visuals add absolutely nothing to the story dynamics.

50
Christian Science Monitor
David Sterritt
The action of this South Korean melodrama is fast and furious, but its emotions and ideas don't manage to keep up.

50
TV Guide
Ken Fox
With a little more plot, this could have been a killer.

50
San Francisco Chronicle
Mick LaSalle
A Korean film that takes an American genre and gets fancy with it.

40
Village Voice
Dennis Lim
Lee's trickery is dazzling in flashes but also monotonously strenuous -- the derangement factor is high but there's little evidence of authentic lunacy.
