Rating: 4/5 -- Chan has delivered a film that is consistently entertaining and will leave Western audiences, at least, looking forward to seeing what he does next. Full Review

Sergio Leone's specter looms large over Call of Heroes, a film oozing nihilist violence on par with the bloodiest scenes in any of those spaghetti Westerns that have long informed Hong Kong's wuxia cinema. Full Review

Rating: 4/5 -- Benny Chan's best film in years - a Chinese wuxia epic with obvious echoes to classic spaghetti Western films and Akira Kurosawa's samurai dramas like Seven Samurai and Yojimbo. Full Review

Call of Heroes is a thoroughly modern and satisfyingly self-aware action film; both classic, old fashioned, and authentically exciting. Full Review
