Shanghai Red

Meili (Vivian Wu, The Pillow Book, Joy Luck Club, Heaven & Earth) is a young, contemporary mother who balances family life with her work as an interpreter. Her world changes dramatically when her husband is suddenly shot dead on his way to sign a joint-venture contract with an American company headed by corporate troubleshooter, Michael (Richard Burgi, Desperate Housewives, 24, The Sentinel). Now this simple woman enters a web of deceit, love and guilt in modern day Shanghai, changing her into an Angel of Vengeance in this time-bending murder mystery.

“Exotic thriller with strong female lead… Vivian Wu is ravishing and she gives subtle gradations in performance.” (Maggie Lee, Hollywood Reporter)

"Well-thesped tensions prove fascinating in this elegant and dreamy concoction… Intense perfs by Sun and particularly Wu.” (Ronnie Scheib, Variety)
