Asura Reviews
RogerEbert.com
Peter Sobczynski
There are a number of impressive action set pieces to be had here, including one of the more hellacious car chases to hit the screen in a while.
The Playlist
Bradley Warren
An above average, carnage-driven Korean crime drama.
New York Times
Ben Kenigsberg
As the suspense slackens and blood starts spilling nearly to the point of self-parody, it almost seems designed as a test of mettle - for both the filmmakers and the audience.
Village Voice
Simon Abrams
Winningly over-the-top Korean gangster drama Asura: The City of Madness is what you'd get if you combined The Wire with a really good soap opera.
Variety
Maggie Lee
Splattered with Korean aesthetics of troglodytic violence and blighted by irredeemable characters, Kim Sung-soo's Asura: The City of Madness is a stygian crime thriller that casts a jaundiced eye at South Korean regional politics.
Asian Movie Pulse
Panos Kotzathanasis
The power struggles between all the above characters, along with the constant shifting of both loyalties and the upper hand, are the backbone of an intricate script, which is concluded, in the most spectacular fashion
Scene 360
Anton Bitel
an utterly bleak and unapologetically violent combination of action spectacle, morality play, mythic tragedy and national parable, as the terminal trajectory of Korea's brutal hierarchies and power structures are laid brutally bare, with no way out.
Projected Figures
Anton Bitel
Kim Sung-su may be offering us a thrilling - and masterfully directed - ride, its punishing toll measurable in the bruises and scars that accumulate on [protagonist] Han's face, but the writer/director's intentions are also sociological.
Film Journal International
Daniel Eagan
Stylish if derivative, it's bloody enough for action fans, and moody enough for niche venues.
