- 75RogerEbert.comSimon AbramsRogerEbert.comSimon AbramsThis is a film noir that is, despite some jittery, Tony Scott-esque action sequences, so cool, that you will leave it begging for a sequel.
- 60The New York TimesNicolas RapoldThe New York TimesNicolas RapoldThe crisscrossing pursuers and pesky police suggest a watered-down version of the treacheries in “City on Fire.” But the cluttered, unfolding dynamism of Mr. Lam’s action scenes remains resilient when gunplay or knife fights are thrust into street life.
- 60Los Angeles TimesMartin TsaiLos Angeles TimesMartin TsaiFans will be thrilled that the auteur hasn't missed a beat with Wild City, although he appears to be making the same concessions to the Chinese market as his contemporaries.
- 50San Francisco ChronicleSan Francisco ChronicleThe car chases and other stunt work are excellent, although there could have been more action, and the downtime scenes of the characters plotting their next move or ruminating on money’s role in moral corruption are fine. But the bottom line is there’s nothing super original here.
