		The film is infused with a vision of innocence lost and found (and defiled with blood) and awash in symbols such as the nosebleeds that strike a poet (in fact, he is called the Poet) turned to crime as he literally dissects a flower or dispassionately watches a fresh young girl corrupted.

		Cyclo has that consistency.Which is a good thing, for like a bowl of Vietnamese Pho, it's a blend of ingredients that work together only in the right hands.
		Cyclo is a kind of Vietnamese Bicycle Thief: it deals with a rickshaw driver (bicyclist) and his struggle to make it--for himself and his family.
		The spin that turns the wheel in Cyclo is a struggle involving not the struggle of lower classes but the struggle of filial loyalty and family tradition against global capital.

	Chicago Reader Movie Review
		The boss the Cyclo works for is the Madam and her beloved retarded son is the Crazy Son.
		Given the present critical climate for "difficult" movies, I suppose we should be grateful that Cyclo is opening at all, and given the unpleasantness of much of the movie, I suppose one could argue that abbreviating it is doing the audience some kind of favor.
		In the case of Cyclo, where each character is brought to a kind of grisly apotheosis, these cuts unquestionably do harm; certainly the Sister's role in the overall dramaturgy has been obscured and confused.

		The word "cyclo" is the name for the pedal-driven cabs so common on the streets of Vietnam.
		After his cyclo is stolen, he seeks revenge by hooking up with one of the many street gangs of the city.
		Cyclo relies more heavily on its picturesque cinematography to tell the story than on its intermittent dialogue--a convention that some viewers may find difficult to follow.

		Cyclo is visually powerful with a deep socioeconomic and cinematic complexity as it depicts the tragedy of wanting.
		The movie is violent, disjointed, convoluted, and it is nothing short of a representation of the strong, seductive pull of desperation.

		Once again, Hung focuses on family: chiefly Cyclo (a scrambling, skinny 18-year-old bicycle taxi driver) and Sister (his slightly older and serenely beautiful sibling, who does the cooking for the younger kids and aged grandfather and holds the family together).
		Cyclo (Le Van Loc) is jumped by rivals who steal his cab.
		Unbeknown to Cyclo (and us, given Hung's allusive if not downright sketchy storytelling), the brooding, chiseled Poet is having an affair with Sister (Tran Nu Yen Khe, the director's real-life wife).

	deseretnews.com - Movie review: Cyclo \| Deseret Morning News Web edition
		In order to pay her back for the stolen cyclo, the boy falls in with a gang of young criminals, led by the Poet (Hong Kong star Tony Leung-Chiu Wai), a would-be crime lord who writes verse on the side.
		The Poet and his cohorts are able to persuade the naive cyclo driver into helping them with their crimes, which are petty to begin with, but which soon escalate into random bombings and drug-running.
		"Cyclo" is not rated but would probably receive an R for violent fist, gun and knife fights, some of them bloody, scattered profanities, some drug use, a couple of vulgar references and a brief torture scene.

		Cyclo's father -- also a cyclo driver -- was killed in a recent traffic accident and memories of his father's admonitions to “try to find a better life” weigh heavily upon the young man's soul.
		Cyclo lives in a tiny tenement with his older sister (Khe), who makes water deliveries to the nearby market; his younger sister, who shines shoes in the market; and his aged grandfather, who repairs cyclo tires.
		Loc, as Cyclo, turns in a brilliant, sedate performance; his expression is forever neutral, but the chaos before him is clearly reflected in his quiet eyes.

		The cyclo (Le Van Loc) spends all day pedalling in the hunt for passengers, before returning to the home that he shares with his two sisters and grandfather.
		The cyclo is employed by the Boss Lady (Nguyen Nhu Quynh), who owns the cyclo and allows him to keep 5000 dong of his daily takings (while holding onto a hefty 200,000 dong deposit).
		It's far removed from carrying water in the market yet she seems unaffected by her situation, while the cyclo is simply unaware (even though his room is across the road from hers).

	Slant Magazine - Film Review: Cyclo
		The title character (a cyclo is a bicycle taxi driver) is scraping a living together for his two sisters and grandfather by carting people to and fro within Ho Chi Minh City.
		The cyclo (a sinewy Le Van Loc) and his sister become intrigued by the mysterious Poet (Tony Leung) who also happens to be a gang leader and puts them both to work as a street thug and a fetish-only prostitute, respectively.
		The characters, such as they are (they don't even have names, just occupational designations), live primarily through a faintly contrived sensation-based relationship with their environment, which basically means they occasionally put living animals in their mouths.

	FILM REVIEW -- `Cyclo' No Ride In the Country / Crime and violence in Ho Chi Minh City
		As Bay Area audiences found when ``Cyclo'' opened the San Francisco International Asian American Film Festival in March, it's a big departure from the delicate lyricism of ``Green Papaya.'' Violent, disjunctive and exhausting, it's a dark fable that illustrates with startling images the strong, seductive pull of evil.
		In Vietnam, a ``cyclo'' is a driver of a bicycle taxi or pedicab.
		When the cyclo's bicycle is stolen, the Madam forces him to work off the cost, making him her prisoner and assigning him to the Poet (Tony Leung-Chiu Wai).

	Movie Review \| Cyclo (1995) Le Van Loc, Tony Leung Chiu Wai
		When the Madame has the cyclo cab stolen in order to rent it back to him at even higher rates, she points the cyclo over to her chief enforcer, a brooding, silent brute known only as The Poet (Hong Kong actor Tony Leung, "Infernal Affairs").
		Under The Poet's guidance, the cyclo becomes involved in the seedy underbelly of Ho Chi Minh City's organized crime racket, starting small by destroying rice shipments and rapidly graduating to murder and drug trafficking.
		"Cyclo" uses parallel stories to follow the cyclo, the cyclo's virginal older sister's love for The Poet (despite the fact that he's pimping her out), and the Madame's struggle to come to terms with her retarded son.

		He is a cyclo (bicycle taxi driver) and is basically supporting his extended family of grandparents, siblings, etc. since his father was killed in an accident a year earlier.
		One day his bike is stolen by a street gang, and in his attempts to get it back, he gets sucked into an underworld of gangsters and seedy crime.
		Le Van Loc, as the cyclo, is so natural, that as the film follows him, it almost seems like a documentary.
