The Bullet Vanishes Ratings & Reviews
NYC Movie Guru
Avi Offer
A stylishly-directed, intelligent and well-acted murder mystery brimming with thrills, suspense and intrigue. It deserves an American remake.
rec.arts.movies.reviews
Louis Proyect
Forget about your local Cineplex. This is genuine summer entertainment.
Los Angeles Times
Robert Abele
Any caseworking suspense is drowned out by an over-abundance of visual pizazz: disjointed shootouts, arbitrary camera angles and cinematography that draws the eye to lighting patterns, not people.
Washington Post
Mark Jenkins
This China/Hong Kong co-production is lively, stylish and well-performed; it just doesn't know when to stop.
New York Times
Andy Webster
Dig deeply and you may find a metaphor about corrupt, uncompassionate government. But mostly "The Bullet Vanishes" is an agreeable period buddy movie, and that's plenty.
Seattle Times
Tom Keogh
"The Bullet Vanishes" charges ahead at a perfect clip. Lo's delightful, hyperbolic audacity includes sharpshooter Guo's knack for banking bullets off walls to hit bad guys, as if playing pool.
The Hollywood Reporter
Frank Scheck
This Chinese period thriller set in 1930's Shanghai boasts a fiendishly clever plot and gorgeous production elements.
Film Journal International
Daniel Eagan
Police track "phantom bullet" murders in this moody, twisty period mystery set in a Chinese munitions factory.
Slant Magazine
Chuck Bowen
It's a prevailing sense of decency that explains why The Bullet Vanishes is such an effective tonic for summer-movie fatigue.
Boston Phoenix
Brett Michel
As far as cheap knock-offs go, Ching-Wan Lau (of Johnnie To's Life Without Principle) as newly minted National Police Officer Song is a fairly flattering imitation.
Village Voice
French Clements
When two charming detectives are sent in to detect stuff, the movie comes to life with their antsy, noose-escaping, quasi-vaudevillian kinetics.
