, Empire Magazine
[A] really boring 1940s spy drama starring John Cusack.

Matthew Pejkovic, Matt's Movie Reviews
With its uninvolving plot and direly miscast leading man, Shanghai is worse than a bomb. It's a bore.

The technical achievements of the picture are numerous, making Shanghai painless to watch. It's maintaining interest in the eroding mystery and its passive players that's a significant challenge.
