Breaking News Ratings & Reviews
Asian Movie Pulse
Panos Kotzathanasis
Johnnie To's direction is once more impressive, particularly the way he stages and shoots the action, taking full advantage of the narrow corridors of the building the gang has taken a stand in
Dennis Schwartz Movie Reviews
Dennis Schwartz
This is a film Michael Bay would green light in a heartbeat.
DallasBlack.com
Kam Williams
A brainless but harmless display of senseless slaughter!
AV Club
Noel Murray
[Breaking News] is one of [director] To's typically tangled meditations on the smearing of good and evil, in moments where instinct overcomes morality.
Combustible Celluloid
Jeffrey M. Anderson
Starts with an astonishing tracking shot lasting nearly seven minutes that could rank with Orson Welles' much-admired Touch of Evil opener.
The Hollywood Reporter
Frank Scheck
Prolific Hong Kong lenser Johnnie To delivers another solid action picture with this latest effort.
San Francisco Chronicle
G. Allen Johnson
To, Hong Kong's best action auteur since John Woo left for Hollywood, doesn't disappoint.
E! Online
E! Staff
Veteran Hong Kong director Johnny To (Fulltime Killer) has turned out yet another slick, expertly shot action thriller.
Film Journal International
Daniel Eagan
...another in a long line of expertly made Johnnie To films. While it may not be the director's best work, it has some knockout sequences.
TV Guide
Maitland McDonagh
To takes on the relationship between the media and the police in this taut, cynical thriller.
Filmcritic.com
Chris Barsanti
Smart and sly, Breaking News shows that genre doesn't have to mean predictable.
Variety
Derek Elley
Generally good performances from the Hong Kong, Taiwanese and Mainland cast, plus kinetic widescreen photography, deliver solid enough entertainment.
New York Times
Manohla Dargis
A film filled with terrifically choreographed action and very little on its mind.
Village Voice
Ed Halter
Well executed but ultimately unsatisfying ...
Slant Magazine
Ed Gonzalez
The story's unrefined point about media one-upmanship is crudely spaced out across the film's terse 90 minutes.
rec.arts.movies.reviews
Mark R. Leeper
Inventive action film from Hong Kong looks at how modern media and electronic communications changes everything in the old game of cops and robbers.
Boxoffice Magazine
Mark Keizer
To took a shot at a big fat bull's-eye and, for the most part, missed.
