Reviews


50
Observer - Rex Reed
At least Gong is ravishing, which occasionally takes your mind off the gibberish that is going full tilt around her.
50
The A.V. Club - Ignatiy Vishnevetsky
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.
50
Washington Post - Mark Jenkins
Shanghai is an exercise in retro glamour, alluring decadence and tough-guy posing, all of which it delivers in sufficient quantities.
50
Chicago Sun-Times - Richard Roeper
The mystery is muddled, the romance is tepid and scenes that should be electric with tension are almost dull.
50
The New York Times - Unnamed
The spectacular international cast... bring a lot of life to the movie’s uncooperative story material.
