"It's the sort of production rife with plenty of action but nothing that's remotely stirring, putting far too much pressure on petite Jamie Chung to carry the drama."—VarietyVariety: Samurai Girl Review (September 4, 2008)

"Although the drama is sometimes over the top and not always palpable, the action is nonstop. For that, "Samurai" will more than please action-adventure fans."—The Hollywood ReporterThe Hollywood Reporter: TV Review: Samurai Girl (September 4, 2008)

"[T]he winning 'Samurai' has lots of action, and is generously peppered with comedic asides — especially from Kyle Labine's pining nerd, Otto — which all makes for a butt-kicking good time."—Entertainment WeeklyEntertainment Weekly: Tonight's Best: Samurai Girl (September 5, 2008)
