Review John Woo's first contemporary action film is an entertaining bloodbath... --TV Guide The film may be over 30 years old but the carnage is still unflinching and mounted with viscous verve. From bloody squibs, burnings and beheadings, Heroes Shed No Tears holds nothing back in its onslaught of impressively staged combat. [O]ne would be doing themselves an injustice in not checking out this early, but highly entertaining action flick from the director. --Andrew Skeates, Far East Films
