Tang and Qin team up to solve a murder in New York's Chinatown.
Leave your thoughts about Detective Chinatown 2.
| Detroit NewsAdam GrahamAt two-plus hours, the joke goes on for way too long. But Detective Chinatown 2 is a case worth taking. |
| Screen InternationalJohn BerraWriter-director Chen Sicheng dials the original’s lewd humor down a notch, but still mines stereotypes for easy laughs with Wang delivering his trademark high pitch comedic star turn. |
| Film InquiryAlex LinesChen Sicheng's Detective Chinatown 2 is a colourful feast of bizarre antics, old school buddy cop discord and creative amateur detective adventures. |
| Daily Express (UK)Allan HunterAnd now for something completely daft. Detective Chinatown 2 is a boisterous sequel to the 2015 Bangkok-set hit. |
| RogerEbert.comNick AllenEven if it's not that funny, Detective Chinatown 2 proves to be snappy and persistent, complementing its bright color palette and energy with basic goals to alternate between silly, dark and slightly clever. |
| Chicago TribuneMichael PhillipsThis dizzy sequel can’t match any of the first “Detective Chinatown” action highlights, such as the food fight at Bangkok’s floating market. Here’s hoping the third outing, which will take the main characters to Tokyo, returns to the amiable, artful high jinks of the first. |
| San Francisco ChronicleMick LaSalleThe pace is quick, very quick by American standards. The script blasts through reams of plot with lightning dialogue, and even if you have a fast eye for subtitles you may come to the end of the movie with no clear idea what happened. |
| VarietyMaggie LeeThe sequel’s worst enemy is its lead actor Wang Baoqiang, who dials up his bumbling, bragging and vulgar persona Tang Ren to intolerable levels. |
| Flickering MythRobert KojderMichael Pitt also makes a special guest cameo appearance, except his line delivery is so forced and awkward it feels as if he doesn't even want to be there, and truthfully, I can't blame him |
| GuardianPeter BradshawWhat better way to celebrate Chinese new year than with this film? Erm ... actually, there are a number of activities that might be better. |
