Reception
Derek ElleyofVarietywrote that it "makes up in personality and an overall light, jokey tone what it lacks in sheer action smarts."[1]Time Out Londonwrote, "Made to order for Chinese New Year release, this charmless action-comedy would like to beCharadebut hasn't a clue how to handle plot structure, characterisation or secret-identity twists. "[3]Keith Phipps ofThe A.V. Clubwrote that it "delivers the mix of humor, action, and style promised, though not delivered, by the big-screen version ofCharlie's Angels".[4]Beyond Hollywoodwrote, "Aside from an overbearing soundtrack and a hackneyed plot with too many silly twists,Tokyo Raidersis good for a laugh.
