Top Critics Reviews

fresh:
Fresh, stark and consistently uncompromising, Li Yang's Blind Shaft is an exceptional Chinese film noir.
– John Hartl,
Seattle Times,
26 Mar 2004
fresh:
While the lack of a musical track, energizing editing and visual variety makes Blind Shaft tedious viewing at times, the story is strong enough to sustain interest.
– Colin Covert,
Minneapolis Star Tribune,
25 Mar 2004
fresh:
Engrossing because of its amazingly well-documented milieu, which German-trained writer-director Li Yang filmed on location in the northern provinces.
– Ellen Fox,
Chicago Tribune,
25 Mar 2004
fresh:
Makes for gripping, merciless drama.
– Manohla Dargis,
Los Angeles Times,

fresh:
Unfolds as fast and mercilessly as the way Song and Tang approach their victims: It sideswipes us.
