Lou (rhymes with wow!)’s review published on Letterboxd:
Rewatching this heroic bloodshed movie because it was director Johnnie To's birthday yesterday.
Exiled certainly is entertaining, but I do find it mediocre compared to some of To's other movies. The style is there, it does however run a bit low on heart. The camaraderie between the characters just feels forced. I also lost track of what was going on at times. This definitely isn't To's strongest movie from a narrative standpoint.
It does look extremely dope though and the action is absolutely spectacular.
