	Media	Author	Review
		Jay Weissberg Variety	"One does have to be an unabashed Shinya Tsukamoto devotee to find either excitement or pleasure in 'Killing' (...) A minor entry"
		David Rooney The Hollywood Reporter	"It’s not exactly loaded with complexity, something that could be said also for the performances. But the tremendously effective use of music (...) provides intermittent moments of visceral force."
		Lee Marshall Screendaily	"There’s a real sense of energy here that comes as a raw and refreshing antidote to the over-choreographed battles of so many commercial wuxia films"
