2018-3-9 Things come back eventually. A very good movie from Taiwan.

It starts out intriguing enough, but as twist piles upon twist, and coincidence upon coincidence, it just gets more and more ludicrous. It's a good reminder to me, as I'm writing my screenplay, that jerking the audience around too much may not be a good idea.

Noel Murray

Los Angeles Times

Still, while it's disappointing as a mystery, "Who Killed Cock Robin" is effective as the study of a compulsively nosy man who follows his hunches whenever they lead, into some dark places.

JWR

Certainly not a production for the faint of heart, this film is well worth a viewing both for its craft, and its, sadly, entirely believable view of how those in power are willing to do anything to stay there.

Rated: 4.5/5

It's Just Movies

At times overly complicated and frustratingly murky, this noir has all the twists and turns right up to a strong and unique ending.

Rated: 7/10

SF Weekly

The great irony is that while Wang finds himself in a deadly game of cat-and-mouse, and those are never a bad thing, in the end "Who Killed Cock Robin?" proves to be a big ol' shaggy-dog story.

James Marsh

South China Morning Post

Emulating such classic thrillers as Blow-Up and The Conversation, Who Killed Cock Robin soon becomes entangled in a web of contrived mysteries and implausible coincidences.

Rated: 2/5

The Straits Times (Singapore)

The effect of piling on twist upon twist is to have the viewer totally wrung out and exasperated by the end.

Rated: 2/5
