Critic Reviews

  • Gary Goldstein, Los Angeles Times

    "Shanghai Red" largely emerges as a tantalizing, involving thriller.

  • Kam Williams, NewsBlaze

    Juxtaposing a litany of opposing thematic elements, ranging from honor vs. disgrace to tradition vs. modernization to trust vs. duplicity, this multi-layered mystery shapes up like a modern morality play of Shakespearean proportions.

  • Ed Scheid, Boxoffice Magazine

    Shanghai Red has an effective central performance by Vivian Wu (The Joy Luck Club), but the very uneven screenplay causes the film to lose steam.
