Reviews

The A.V. Club -
Most of the pleasure in Green Dragons comes simply from the opportunity to watch some underused actors dig into meatier parts than they’re usually offered.

Los Angeles Times -
Fredric Dannen's reportage, which appeared in a 1992 issue of the New Yorker and serves as the film's basis, contains lurid details that leap off the page in a cinematic way. The "Dragons" script by Michael Di Jiacomo and co-director Andrew Loo preserves many, but few register on-screen.

|
The New York Times -
What initially feels like brash energy peters out until what’s left mainly evokes pretty ordinary gangster movies.
|
|
The Hollywood Reporter -
In the end the taste of H.K. filmmaking dominates in the film's deliberately chaotic visual style, a circular narrative that heads nowhere, and lyrical song interludes that abruptly interrupt the non-stop action and camera movement.

Village Voice -
Green Dragons wants to be spaghetti with marinara, but it's closer to egg noodles and ketchup.
