Reviews from Letterboxd:
-
HorrorSage – ★★★½
“What we have here might be a R-Revenge comedy? Like the act itself and the aftermath is pretty horrific. But as our cop-lady lead starts on her path of vengeance the movie gets really strange.” -
Daniel Shillito – ★★★
“Even with its mean-spirited streak, Body Weapon is a rather daring psychological thriller that combines the twisted sexuality and flamboyant savagery of Naked Killer with the physical masterstrokes of Jackie Chan in high gear.” -
PenguinBoss – ★★★★
“This in many ways is a typical mean, sleazy, stupid time from writer/producer Wong Jing. What makes Weapon special is that even though it’s a very stupid movie from a conceptual standpoint, it’s directed DEADLY serious by Aman Chang.”
