Movie Reviews

Philadelphia Inquirer - 8/10 by Tirdad DerakhshaniSaving Mr. Wu is terrific fun as a crime thriller, with great photography and tense action sequences. Yet it truly excels in its quieter moments ...
Los Angeles Times - 8/10 by Martin TsaiAs can be gleaned from snippets of news footage shown during the end credits, Ding has done an outstanding job re-creating the events and conveying the complexity and prudence of the cops' investigative chess moves.
Seanax.com - 7/10 by Sean AxmakerIt's a tight, fast-moving, entertaining cop drama that does away with the criminal mastermind clichés to show a more realistic portrait of a kidnapping and police investigation energized by car chases, flashing sirens, and strike force action.
The Straits Times (Singapore) - 7/10 by Yip Wai YeeWhile all the attention is naturally on Mr Wu and Lau, the film's true breakout star here is China actor Wang Qianyuan, who is vicious as the criminal mastermind.
South China Morning Post - 7/10 by Edmund LeeThis blend of abduction thriller and police procedural ... is an entertaining genre exercise that methodically reshuffles its timeline to fend off predictability.
User Review - 6/10 by Johnson CDecent thriller, though it really is most powerful in its quieter moments. The tone-deaf "fantasy sequences" feel more like concessions to producers insisting on more action sequences, and thus are jarring and unnecessary.
User Review - 4/10 by Dave JBased on actual events involving a Chinese movie star Mr. Wu(Andy Lau), being ransomed for a sum of money within a spawn of 20 hours. Viewers get see some of the police procedures but also the emotional turmoil as well.
