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 May 4, 2018 Full Review Maggie Lee 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. Mar 8, 2018 Full Review 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 Feb 19, 2018 Full Review Alex Lines 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. Mar 15, 2018 Full Review 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 Mar 15, 2018 Full Review 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 Feb 16, 2018 Full Review Read all reviews

Catarina W gostei mais do primeiro filme, mas enfim, bom até Rated 3 out of 5 stars 05/29/24 Full Review jeremy z 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? Rated 2 out of 5 stars 03/30/23 Full Review Audience Member 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. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/12/23 Full Review Audience Member Randomly watched this movie and it was damn funny! 4 stars. ???? Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/23/23 Full Review Audience Member it is not bad at all, although if you are not ethnically Chinese you might miss some of the jokes etc. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/24/23 Full Review Audience Member Very Funny movie, suitable for family, awesome story line and detective factors. Very recommended. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/17/23 Full Review Read all reviews
