Richard Kuipers Variety 03/06/2021
The central murder-mystery contains so many convoluted diversions, digressions and detours it makes the whole enterprise play like a long stream-of-consciousness sketch with a glaringly hollow core. Go to Full Review
Todd McCarthy Deadline Hollywood Daily 02/22/2021
Its enormous box office numbers notwithstanding, I have to rate Detective Chinatown 3 as something of a disappointment after the raucously engaging first two entries. Go to Full Review

There's a puppyish charm here. Go to Full Review
James Marsh South China Morning Post 02/24/2021
3/5
While a relatively low bar, artistically speaking, Detective Chinatown 3 may be considered the best entry in the series to-date. Go to Full Review
John Berra Screen International 02/16/2021
Even when it is more dedicated to brand extension than the art of deduction, Detective Chinatown 3 exudes a heightened zaniness which is most welcome in today's largely homogenised franchise landscape. Go to Full Review

Tracy T Apr 13 I loved it so much! I never expected the ending, and it did make me cry, but it connects and makes sense despite it being as a 'jump' to the answer. It was humorous as well, of course, but nonetheless go give it a watch! (I'm watching the newest one rn) See more jeremy z 10/08/2021 Chinatown 3 is at least passably watchable compared to the horrendously nonsensical sequel. That being said, it's more of the same and if you're a fan of the series' meld of slapstick humour with sherlock holmes' style detective scenes, this one is a little more down-to-earth, but not by much. also, this one evidently is setting up sequels rather than just telling it's own story which is a tragedy of any successful movie these days. See more 03/16/2021 The movie is funny and has a amazing twist at the end which I think no one would predict. See more 02/20/2021 Hiroshi Noda the rich! See more 02/19/2021 It is a shame for the entire industry See more Yuri Lin L 01/26/2020 great movie!! I love it so much See more Read all reviews
