Review of Shanghai Triad (1995) by Jami Bernard for New York Daily News — 28 Jul 2015
Unfortunately, with its faintly uneven pacing and straggling structure, the film lacks depth or narrative economy. That said, Zhang's use of colour is as vivid as ever, his stylised depiction of violence is mostly effective, and Gong Li is gloriously watchable.
