An odd duck of a superhero flick, one that almost leans into the skid of the MCU, and, by doing so, might actually straighten it out.

“Emergent City” is an old-school documentary that tells a story by presenting and arranging information and expecting you to meet it halfway rather than having everything spoon-fed to you.

Even those who admired the “Raid” films for their style and heedlessness might find this to be little more than an accumulation of action movie cliches that they have seen enacted to much greater effect in other and certainly better films.

“On Swift Horses” stumbles a little bit on its way around what feels like an extremely rushed final lap, but this is still a winner.

A film that will linger with you long afterward, but you’ll probably never want to watch it again. 

Tsang has made a small, affecting, and studiously minimalist film.

What should be a tight 93-minute runtime feels overlong and overwhelmed by clumsy writing.

One is hard-pressed to understand why grown-up thrillers like this one don’t get bigger pushes.

It’s a fine film, albeit one that nearly loses its credibility due to an unfortunate instance of undisclosed bias.

Darkly humorous, sometimes lacerating, but not at all chilly.
