Saving Mr. Wu is terrific fun as a crime thriller, with great photography and tense action sequences. Yet it truly excels in its quieter moments ...

Ding has done an outstanding job re-creating the events and conveying the complexity and prudence of the cops' investigative chess moves.

RTSeattle TimesOct 1, 2015

The director deploys all the familiar tropes with an assured forcefulness that makes the movie crackle with a rough energy.

Overall, Saving Mr Wu is a very impressive film, benefiting the most from its direction and editing. However, its narrative could have been a bit less complex.
