Robert Daniels Screen International What Harbin lacks in memorable characters, it more than makes up for in its staging and craft. The action is beautifully composed. Sep 13, 2024 Full Review Sarah Marrs Lainey Gossip What Harbin lacks in depth, it makes up in style. Sep 14, 2024 Full Review Giovanni Lago Next Best Picture "Harbin" does what it needs in its quest to engage viewers. However, the subject matter is so fascinating, and to only make a semi-entertaining spy film is not enough to pass with flying colors.  Rated: 6/10 Sep 12, 2024 Full Review Read all reviews
