Critic Reviews:

• " A strange but enjoyable hybrid of martial arts movie and folksy comedy from first-time New Zealand director Kiel McNaughton. " – Jake Wilson

• " This fun (and blood-free) low-budget action-comedy hits the right notes. " – Liam Lacey

• " A crowdpleasing action-comedy that feels like a cross between Stephen Chow's Kung Fu Hustle, cult Kiwi movie Tongan Ninja and the weird and wacky criminal world of Guy Richie movies. " – James Croot
