Critic Reviews for Operation Mekong

All Critics (10) | Top Critics (2) | Fresh (8) | Rotten (2)

  • If it makes for a breathlessly assaultive, vastly entertaining couple of hours, it can be discomfiting whenever there's a brief pause in the pelting gunfire and we glimpse the contours of the actual, flesh-and-blood tragedy.

    Jessica Kiang

    Variety

  • Though more sensationalistic than serious, this film has a scale and an energy that rivals any Hollywood blockbuster.

    September 29, 2016 | Full Review…

    Noel Murray

    Los Angeles Times

  • Operation Mekong is a definite action film, HK style, which will definitely find appeal to all fans of the genre. Its commercial success was utterly justified.

    Panos Kotzathanasis

    easternKicks.com

  • This is why you watch Hong Kong action movies: for vicious, elegantly choreographed, fearless car chases that never let you lose sight of the action and always leave you catching your breath.

    Pat Padua

    DCist

  • The zeal with which Lam directs everything is as undeniably cheesy as action filmmaking ever gets. I think he takes Operation Mekong very seriously, but that doesn't mean I have to.

    Andrew Parker

    The Gate

  • Going in guns blazing and attempting to set pulses racing might not feel wholly appropriate given the facts at the heart of the film, but it does suit Lam's usual style.
