Reviewer Huang Chien-yeh adds that "the main point of Chinese gun-fighting films is never in the weaponry or skill, but on the kungfu-style poses that the actors cop." Wu's unique film style, such as slow motion when the hero appears and close-ups when bullets are fired, "leaves room for romanticism amidst the fighting."
影評人黃建業指出，中國「槍戰動作電影的重點永遠不在槍法而在功夫架式」，吳宇森式獨特的影像風格，如主角出場時的慢動作、子彈射出時的特寫，「為打鬥提供了浪漫的空間。」
