At two-plus hours, the joke goes on for way too long. But Detective Chinatown 2 is a case worth taking. Go to Full Review
Maggie Lee Variety 03/08/2018
Though less of a brainteaser than the original film, director-writer Chen Sicheng infuses Chinese color into a plot that solves crimes by using feng shui as clues, making things accessible and intriguing to local and international audiences alike. Go to Full Review

3/5
This loud, goofy, comic-book-bright sequel to Chen Sicheng's 2015 buddy comedy works as a loose riff on Sherlock Holmes. Go to Full Review
Alex Lines Film Inquiry 03/15/2018
Chen Sicheng's Detective Chinatown 2 is a colourful feast of bizarre antics, old school buddy cop discord and creative amateur detective adventures. Go to Full Review

Catarina W 05/29/2024 gostei mais do primeiro filme, mas enfim, bom até See more jeremy z 10/07/2021 A non stop over the top stream of nonsense gibberish masquarading as a buddy-cop detective comedy. i guess there are some racist jokes and colourful action set pieces every here and there. turn your brain off and embrace chinese comedy? See more 02/13/2021 Although it may be inaccurate in its depiction of New Yorkers (which may explain the lower rating). It is wildly entertaining with characteristics reminiscent of tv shows: Sherlock Holmes (BBC version) and A Series of Unfortunate Events, mixed with outlandish comedy. See more 09/22/2018 Randomly watched this movie and it was damn funny! 4 stars. ???? See more 08/01/2018 it is not bad at all, although if you are not ethnically Chinese you might miss some of the jokes etc. See more 04/22/2018 Very Funny movie, suitable for family, awesome story line and detective factors. Very recommended. See more Read all reviews
