The detective duo teams up to hunt down a killer.

Adam Graham

Detroit News

At two-plus hours, the joke goes on for way too long. But Detective Chinatown 2 is a case worth taking.

Rated: B

Variety

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.

Simran Hans

Observer (UK)

This loud, goofy, comic-book-bright sequel to Chen Sicheng's 2015 buddy comedy works as a loose riff on Sherlock Holmes.

Rated: 3/5

Film Inquiry

Chen Sicheng's Detective Chinatown 2 is a colourful feast of bizarre antics, old school buddy cop discord and creative amateur detective adventures.

James Marsh

South China Morning Post

Detective Chinatown 2 paints a wildly reductive picture of contemporary America, which it populates entirely with gun-toting gang bangers, Trump lookalikes and closeted bikers.

Rated: 2/5

Allan Hunter

Daily Express (UK)

And now for something completely daft. Detective Chinatown 2 is a boisterous sequel to the 2015 Bangkok-set hit.

Rated: 3/5

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.
