Movie Reviews of Shanghai Triad
Movie Review: A majuscule film and probably the most relevant of that year!
Summary: 5 Stars
A country bumpkin cousin in the 1930s, is called to Shanghai to wait on the mobster's girlfriend. And we suspect, a very hazardous love affair will emerge inside this violent underworld of power, corruption and falseness, where nothing lasts forever.
One of the most visceral and complex films of this brilliant director, one of the top ten of the world.
Movie Review: Outstanding film
Summary: 5 Stars
Do not believe Tom Keough's somewhat negative review given with this DVD. He watched on VHS: maybe that was the problem.In my opinion this is Zhang Yimou' best work -- certainly the most memorable and most exciting. Gong Li is brilliant. Compares well with Godfather I as among the best in the gangster genre. The old triad leader is the scariest on film.
Movie Review: Thrilling and Edge of Your Seat Gangland Drama
Summary: 5 Stars
I have read the opinion of the New Yorker and find it sadly wanting in credibility. This is a great movie with a strong plot depicting love, treachery, new horizons, personal growth, and come uppance. I recommend it without reservation. This is a masterpiece and within its fabric there are many weaves which represent a believable plot.Movie Review: Chinese Godfather
Summary: 5 Stars
Wow, it always amazes me to see something that is both incredibly beautiful and incredibly violent. The filming is fantastic. Rich gold tones throughout the movie. The sound track is beautiful. Gong Li is fantastic as always. And all this rich, and even serene imagery is the back drop of a violent struggle for power among drug lords.Movie Review: adahanghai Triad
Summary: 5 Stars
I dfisagree with the R rating. The story is as seen through the eyes of a 14 year old boy. This is one of Zhang Yimou's best films.And Gong Li is excellent as Xiao Jie {Bijou}. the English translation is inaccurate in a couple of places, but in general is acceptable.
