Reviews

Observer -
At least Gong is ravishing, which occasionally takes your mind off the gibberish that is going full tilt around her.

|
The A.V. Club -
Pulp without style: Shanghai has many of the staples of noir—back alleys, shadowy figures, hard-boiled narration, and more femmes fatales than a viewer could keep track of—but none of the atmosphere or cool.

Washington Post -
Shanghai is an exercise in retro glamour, alluring decadence and tough-guy posing, all of which it delivers in sufficient quantities.

|
Chicago Sun-Times -
The mystery is muddled, the romance is tepid and scenes that should be electric with tension are almost dull.

|
The New York Times -
The spectacular international cast... bring a lot of life to the movie’s uncooperative story material.
