"Wider alle Erwartungen führte dieses Oeuvre für den Hongkonger Action-Superstar Chow Yun-Fat nicht ganz zum wohlverdienten Durchbruch auf dem amerikanischen und europäischen Markt. Dennoch handelt es sich bei dieser Geschichte um einen unterhaltsamen Kommerzstreifen. Chow spielt einen Auftragskiller, der es nicht übers Herz bringt, einen Polizisten zu töten (weil er dessen Sohn nicht den Vater wegnehmen will) und schließlich selbst zur ..."
"Robert De Niro spielt Vincent LaMarca, einen langjährigen Polizeibeamten aus New Jersey, der dem einst berühmten Gehsteig am Asbury Park nachweint, welcher durch den Verlauf sich verändernder Zeiten mehr und mehr verfällt.

"This didn't turn out to be quite the deserving American vehicle for Hong Kong action superstar Chow Yun-fat that it should have been. But it is an entertaining potboiler about a hired gun (Chow) who fails to carry out an assignment to kill a cop (which would leave the fellow's son without a father), and becomes a target himself when the contract is handed over to other assassins. Mira Sorvino plays a document forger who is drawn into th ..."
"The director of Chow Yun-fat's first Hollywood outing, music-video veteran Antoine Fuqua, seems to be trying to squeeze the charismatic Asian superstar into a conventional American action-hero mold, and the results are dispiriting. Fuqua never lets this high-spirited actor smile, fetishizing him as a gunslinging clotheshorse in a series of garish, scenery-smashing battle scenes. As a paid assassin whose former employers turn against him ..."
