Kattiera Nana I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

WillSushyMedia This movie was so-so. It had it's moments, but wasn't the greatest.

FirstWitch A movie that not only functions as a solid scarefest but a razor-sharp satire.

Maleeha Vincent It's funny, it's tense, it features two great performances from two actors and the director expertly creates a web of odd tension where you actually don't know what is happening for the majority of the run time.

Bertha Marbun I give the only one star to gratitude the effort to create firefighting scene from the beginning until the end of the movie. I can say that this movie has poor story. I could see very clear every puzzled that the story want to build. It was too many clue. the nuclear weapon is mentioned as the most powerful that can destroy the entire city (regarding the professor said in the helicopter) but we cannot feel the "huge" about it. The moment when i saw 3 people examined the nuclear in the open area. seriously? I thought there would be a secret bunker to safe this nuclear, and then i saw that this place is also used to do interrogation to a criminal, Scene in the restaurant where the 2 Korean policeman and 1 girl talked about the most powerful nuclear in public with high voice, I was like, "wtf. this is so stupid."

James Gentle The film began with a crashed planes being inspected by an officer from MSS (Ministry of State Security, China's version of CIA and FBI combined), followed by an nuclear facility in Korea being attacked and an important object taken.The story is about a black market trade taking place in Hong Kong of a South Korean nuclear weapon named DP8, which is the smallest nuclear weapon ever created. (In reality, South Korea is not supposed to have any nuclear weapons) A task force comprised of Hong Kong police, Korean Intelligence and an enlisted physicist sets out to defuse with the situation.In the middle of the film the MSS official from mainland China intervened with a secret higher priority, but eventually they are all bested by the criminal master mind named Helios.This film is paced in a fashion favored by Chinese (but not by Americans from the reviews I saw). Every twist of the plot left me puzzled with some more questions, yet despite being prepared for surprises, when the big reveal happened, I was surprised.Elements catering to audience from mainland China, Hong Kong, and Korea are obvious. However, this film is not strong on character building, I'm not even sure who is the main character of the film, since non of the characters' personality is deeply depicted.Story of this film is not ended, as the criminal mastermind is still at large. A continuing film is expected.

valfanclub I went to see Helios with no preconceived idea of the critics response and fearing the worse but I was pleasantly surprised and had a good thrill thanks to a few decent action scenes and I felt entertained throughout, which I cannot say about Cold War, one of the film makers previous effort. The cast was good and I loved the way each country was presenting itself in a very good light but different from one another. Modern movie clichés if you like...Anyway,it had the style one associates with the directors but again, unlike Cold War, it actually looked like HK and made it an OTT version of the city which suited the movie ambitious concept(some may say pretentious). At times walking the fine line between slick and cheesy, it got me involved and I will go and see the sequel.A good actioner with enough pizzaz to satisfy fans of Asian commercial movies.

fredc-dhc this is a very poorly produced film with weak story line and tons of unnecessary scenes. unlike most low quality hong kong movies, this movie used korean, hong kong and Chinese actors which tried to please audiences of the three different places. however, low quality story is inconsistent, all the elements are poorly connected and the story. after i left the cinema, most audiences are not happy about the money they paid, the time they spent, and most important, they expectations they had. if you want to see good hong kong movie, i recommended you Overheard [竊聽 風雲] 1-3.
