Viewing Notes

Had this been made 20 years ago the budget would have been much larger and the sets would’ve been better. Despite that it does a pretty good job of depicting a Shanghai that doesn’t exist anymore. An interesting cast that mostly does a decent job combined with an interesting plot made it worth the watch.
