When two charming detectives are sent in to detect stuff, the movie comes to life with their antsy, noose-escaping, quasi-vaudevillian kinetics.

In 1930s Tiancheng, a young woman, thought to have stolen a box of bullets from her boss, dies during a forced game of Russian roulette. Soon after, a series of strange murders take place. An eccentric detective, the fastest gunman in Tiancheng, and a novice policeman work together to solve the mystery.
We hate to say it, but we can't find anywhere to view this film.

What are critics saying?
It's a prevailing sense of decency that explains why The Bullet Vanishes is such an effective tonic for summer-movie fatigue.
The Hollywood Reporter by Frank Scheck
A stylish period thriller set in 1930's Shanghai, The Bullet Vanishes is one of the more striking Chinese imports.
Los Angeles Times by Robert Abele
Any caseworking suspense is drowned out by an over-abundance of visual pizazz: disjointed shootouts, arbitrary camera angles and cinematography that draws the eye to lighting patterns, not people.
