Exciting action-packed crime thriller.

Not only because of [Anna May Wong's] presence, but also because the suspense is blood-curdling at times, Daughter of Shanghai is a refreshing job of an all-too-familiar theme.

Anna May Wong and Philip Ahn get the most from their roles, and Charles Bickford and J. Carrol Naish are in strong support.
