	Author	Review
United Kingdom	Peter Bradshaw The Guardian	"This film offers something that is never in sufficiently plentiful supply: fun (…) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 5)"	POS
United States	Deborah Young The Hollywood Reporter	"A logic-free story neutralizes Woo’s signature action scenes (...) Production values are lavish"	NEU
United States	Jessica Kiang Variety	"A breezy, silly, borderline self-parodic action thriller (...) Whether we’re laughing with the film or laughing at the film is a slightly less clear-cut question (...) 'Manhunt' is sadly more pastiche than homage"	NEG
United Kingdom	Jonathan Romney Screendaily	"Breezy, handsomely mounted fun that shows John Woo has lost neither his mojo nor his sense of poetry (...) A thoroughly enjoyable full-tilt action lark"	POS
Canada	Barry Hertz The Globe and Mail	"Woo makes an audacious return to the genre (...) At times, it approaches self-parody, but that’s just Woo having some much-needed fun. The man deserves it."	POS
United States	Brian Tallerico rogerebert.com	"There are some great set pieces in 'Manhunt' (...) There are a lot of ingredients here for a good movie but they don’t come together to form one"	NEU
