    Los Angeles Times Robert Abele

    Any caseworking suspense is drowned out by an over-abundance of visual pizazz: disjointed shootouts, arbitrary camera angles and cinematography that draws the eye to lighting patterns, not people.

    Village Voice

    When two charming detectives are sent in to detect stuff, the movie comes to life with their antsy, noose-escaping, quasi-vaudevillian kinetics.

    The Hollywood Reporter Frank Scheck

    A stylish period thriller set in 1930's Shanghai, The Bullet Vanishes is one of the more striking Chinese imports.

Chinese Sherlock Holmes meets a Western by not-for-all
This Chinese movie is a mix of Sherlock Holmes and Westerns, but has a sip of carnival and a half a spoon of cabaret... Cinematography´s first class. Handsome acting. Fun, light, bright, beautiful. Sometimes too innocent, some too retorted. It´s fresh air.
