Editorial Reviews
"[A] work of creative imagination. Filled with strange and horrible visions, it's draws you in again and again."
New York Times - Manohla Dargis (04/14/2006)
"Kekexeli is such a brutal, unforgiving place that it doesn't allow any film shot there to hold on to its innocence....The area's look is unsettling in its barren neo-lunar vastness."
Los Angeles Times - Kenneth Turan (04/14/2006)
4 stars out of 5 -- "[T]his spectacularly-photographed, deeply moving tale makes no effort to hide its pedigree..."
Box Office - Wade Major (07/01/2006)
4 stars out of 5 -- "Writer-director Lu Chan is a snappy storyteller, mounting some thrilling action sequences. And there's a keen moral ambiguity to the characters' deeds..."
Total Film - Tom Dawson (10/01/2006)
"[A] carefully composed melodrama, albeit one without any of the usual emotional excesses....A film that's all muscle and no flab."
Sight and Sound - Tony Rayns (10/01/2006)
