Leave your thoughts about Chongqing Hot Pot.
| Washington PostMark JenkinsAlthough its final act is brutal, this Chinese crime drama also has elements of farce and romance. |
| VarietyRichard Kuipers“Hot Pot” loses focus with sloppy sentimentality and heavy-duty violence that dilutes the story’s early charm. The end result is entertaining enough if not particularly memorable. |
| The Hollywood ReporterElizabeth KerrThe trouble with Chongqing Hot Pot is that despite its brief running time, it takes too long to bring its various threads together. |
| Los Angeles TimesNoel MurrayThe twisty plot mostly comes together via flashbacks, following an opening armed robbery. Too often though, Yang opts for brute force over brains, defaulting to violent fights that don't quite fit with the film's overall lightness. |
| User ReviewCharlieBrown8Me (Caucasian) and my wife (Chinese) had fun with this one! Realistic atmosphere, with a local Sichuan touch which is rare in Chinese movies that make it international. And a good blend of thrill, humor, thoughtful romance and some gritty action. |
