Jelisije J @jjosifovic 03/02/2023 A 2010 film that feels like a 90's film and I appreciate this movie even more. See more isla s @RT89656869 09/02/2022 This is a quite atmospheric, intriguing period drama thriller film, with some nice settings and costumes. I thought John Cusack did quite well as the 'gumshoe on the scene', as it were - he provides narration/voice-over at times, which I thought was quite good as it sounded very much like someone deep in thought, so there is certainly an element of authenticity present, from what I could tell. The colours appear somewhat muted at times. I liked the incidental music in the background, it added to the tension felt in key scenes. It's also fairly engrossing, I thought. As a foreign set period drama, this is a good film - one I'd recommend.

Staggering how completely obtuse film critics are... See more 09/22/2016 This movie rating is the strongest example I've ever seen that Rotten Tomatoes (a site I generally like) can be utterly utterly misleading. This movie is a spy/Neo-Noire gem. Not in any half-arsed way, but a real well put together classic in the same broad genre as the Quiet American (Michael Caine version). I'm a fan of Neo-Noire and spy films and WWII dramas, but that just makes it my genre. I'm still super critical when it comes to movies, and this one rocks. 4% my ass. I laugh at the other reviews here! See more 09/19/2016 Shanghai is not without it's flaws, with a cliché-ridden script and uneven editing. But it pulls together enough elements to create a fun, action-adventure neo-noir. The performances in the film benefit from a talented cast and three-dimensional characters. The costumes are beautiful and the cinematography is excellent. Overall, Shanghai is a superb thriller that provides action, mystery, and romance. See more Read all reviews
