Review
The action scenes in Long Arm of the Law are unusually realistic for a 1984 production. --Frank Djeng, A Brief History of Kung Fu Cinema
It is certainly a forerunner of the heroic bloodshed films, which would go on to dominate Hong Kong cinema in the 1980s. But Long Arm of the Law is so much darker than what followed. --Richard James Havis, South China Morning Post
This excellent crime thriller is a testament to real filmmaking. --LoveHKfilm.com
